Description:
------------
I accidentally commented out a line in php.ini with a hash mark instead of a semi-colon.  It appears that the php.ini parser does not raise an all-important alarm on this kind of error.  

I spent hours trying to understand why my changes to php.ini were not reflected in ini_get_all().

It would be nice if the php.ini parser threw a message about syntax errors to stderr.  Pretty please!

I've also found syntax error in php.ini in php 5.4b1:

In line 601 [both php.ini devel and production] is:
: paid for the registration of these arrays and because ENV is not as commonly

should be:
; paid for the registration of these arrays and because ENV is not as commonly


Note that there is colon as starting char.

Hash marks have been valid comment markers in PHP 5 (albeit
deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0)[1].

> I've also found syntax error in php.ini in php 5.4b1:

This had been properly reported as bug #55834, and has been fixed.
