Bug #65939 space before ";" breaks php.ini parsing
Submitted: 2013-10-21 15:00 UTC Modified: -
From: brainstorm at nopcode dot org Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: PHP options/info functions
PHP Version: 5.5.5 OS: irrelevant
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2013-10-21 15:00 UTC] brainstorm at nopcode dot org
Description:
------------
The following php.ini snippet is found in the newest releases of php.ini (found un downloads section and Ubuntu 13.10):




; If disabled, all PHPDoc comments are dropped from the code to reduce the
 ;size of the optimized code.
;opcache.save_comments=1




The space before " ;size" breaks automation systems like Ansible which tries to parse it as a correctly formatted .ini file.

Test script:
---------------
Apparently it only breaks with builtin MacOSX Python distribution, so you would not be able to reproduce the above exception if running GNU/Linux or others.

#!/usr/bin/python

import ConfigParser, os

config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
config.readfp(open('php.ini'))
print config.get('PHP', 'max_execution_time')

Expected result:
----------------
It should return the value of the attribute instead of raising an exception:

$ python phpparse.py
30

Actual result:
--------------
TASK: [ini_file dest=/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini section=PHP option=max_execution_time value=200] ***
