The error can be reproduced by creating the following file:

[test]
   foo = bar~

and then running it through parse_ini_file.

This produces the following error:

Warning: Error parsing temp.ini on line 2 in Unknown on line 0

Using Debian Testing with PHP package version 4.0.100-1.

parse_ini_file also breaks when seeing ", even if this is escaped (same error message). This also happens on PHP/4.11, Win98SE.

And also on ! (exclamation mark)

If you have any "funny characters" on the right hand side of = you need to put them under double quotes "".

Marking this as a documentation problem.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation 
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

I still get the an error, even if I put the "funny characters" on the right hand side of = under double quotes "". I have tested on "(" and a "=".

parse_ini_file does still not work. If you try to use the "~" 
character (for your home directory, for example), the whole 
value of the field is set to "-1". 
 
This still is not done. Please reopen and fix it.
