When using any of the following values:

no
yes
true
false

As key for a configuration entry, like

NO = "Norway"

The function will return a parse error for the ini file. Found this when I tried to implement a countries list this way. Norway just happens to have that country code...

This is by design and won't be fixed.
Should be documented though. Those are reserved words and can not be used in ini files.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot 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 in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
