Description:
------------
The sanitation on the new parse_ini_file parameter names scanner mode doesn't check if a valid scanner mode has been passed.

The patch has been applied below the if() for if (filename_len == 0) {.
The fix can be found here:
http://digiflexdev.com/php/parse_ini_file_fix.txt

The .phpt file for this is below
http://digiflexdev.com/php/parse_ini_file_test.txt
I realise the .phpt file is wrong somewhat this is my first bug report and the .phpt file just shows.

The same issue applies to parse_ini_string, respectively.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php print_r(parse_ini_file('file.ini', false', INVALID_SCANNER_MODE));

Make a file named file.ini with the following in it.
data = 2

Expected result:
----------------
I'd expect to see a notice. and default to ZEND_INI_SCANNER_NORMAL which is what my fix does.

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: parse_ini_file() expects parameter 3 to be long, string given in /home/pdragoonis/php-5.3.0/sapi/cli/pd/parse_ini_file_test.php on line 3

Firstly, the original reproduce code has a syntax error in it however heres what happens if you pass a valid constant to the function which isn't ZEND_INI_SCANNER_NORMAL and ZEND_INI_SCANNER_RAW

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
defie('MODE', 3);
print_r(parse_ini_file('file.ini', false, MODE));


The fix outputs the following.
Notice: parse_ini_file(): Invalid scanner mode supplied. Defaulting to INI_SCANNER_NORMAL in /home/pdragoonis/php-5.3.0/sapi/cli/file.php on line 5
Array
(
    [data] => 2
)
