Description:
------------
If an INI file contains a definition such as NO = 667, php will bail out with a parse error.

Warning: Error parsing /home/public_html/lookup.ini on line 147 in /home/public_html/start.php on line 24

This occurs on PHP 5.0.4 on Windows XP, RHEL 3  as well as php 4.3.11 on RHEL 3 (only platforms tested)

Reproduce code:
---------------
lookup.ini
====================

; NETHERLANDS
NL = 31

; NORWAY
NO = 47

; NEW ZEALAND
NZ = 64


PHP
====================

<?php print_r( parse_ini_file( './lookup.ini' ) ); ?>

Expected result:
----------------
should return an array:

Array
(
    [NL] => 31
    [NO] => 47
    [NZ] => 64
}

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: Error parsing /home/public_html/lookup.ini on line 147 in /home/public_html/start.php on line 24

Array
(
    [NL] => 31
}

no, on, off, yes, true, false, none are reserved words.
That should be documented somewhere.

Im aware that these are reserved words, but I wasn't able to find anything in the documentation that outlines this behavior...

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Duplicate to bug #22923 and fixed on 2003/04/01:

"There are reserved words which must not be used as keys for ini files. These include: null, yes, no, true, and false."
