Description:
------------
the parse_ini_file doesn't work as in older php-versions:

the paragraph starting with 0... (for example 0815) wasn't handled correctly.

please create the following test.ini file

[01]
e=e
f=f
[02]
g=g
h=h
[1]
a=a
b=b
[2]
c=c
d=d
[0815]
bla=bla

Reproduce code:
---------------
print_r(parse_ini_file("test.ini",true));



Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [01] => Array
        (
            [e] => e
            [f] => f
        )

    [02] => Array
        (
            [g] => g
            [h] => h
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [a] => a
            [b] => b
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [c] => c
            [d] => d
        )

    [0815] => Array
        (
            [bla] => bla
        )

)

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [1] => Array
        (
            [a] => a
            [b] => b
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [c] => c
            [d] => d
        )

    [0] => Array
        (
            [bla] => bla
        )

)

Items starting with 0 are treated as an octal value, since 0815 is an invalid octal value it will return 0, the octal value of 01 is 1, thus your results.

I'm changing this a problem with the documentation.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

"Keys and section names consisting from numbers are evaluated as PHP integers thus numbers starting by 0 are evaluated as octals and numbers starting by 0x are evaluated as hexadecimals."

This was fixed here:

  http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41445

And the expected result will show up as of 5.2.4.

Reopening this report, be sure to update to the new doc style and utilize the changelog.

New doc style will be applied with other files in the section.
