Description:
------------
parse_ini_file and parse_ini_string can't handle arrays with multiple dimensions.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$ini = <<<INI
a[b] = "c"
d[e][f] = "g" ; line 2
INI;

var_dump(parse_ini_string($ini));

?>

Expected result:
----------------
An appropriate var_dump

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning: syntax error, unexpected TC_SECTION, expecting '=' in Unknown on line 2

(or the INI filename instead of "Unknown" when using parse_ini_file)

I recommend implementing this the Zend Framework way using '.' as separator for multi dimension "arrays".

[section]
foo.bar[] = "a"

would then result in:

section
 - foo
  - bar
   - 0 = "a"
