Description:
------------
When using the parse_ini_file function to parse through a specific section of an ini file ("Applications Packages") the parsing stops whenever the following characters are present in the key()[]
Example of ini file:
--
[Applicantions Packages]
Winamp.ini=INSTALLED
Macromedia Shockwave Player 10.ini=INSTALLED
Windows (test) Media Player 10 Series.ini=INSTALLED
Office XP Security Patch KB830346.ini=INSTALLED
Acrobat Reader 6.0.ini=INSTALLED

The desired entries in the ini file are output'd to screen as expected until the parsing stops at line 3 and the browser shows: 

"Warning: Error parsing \\server1\file.ini on line 3 in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test\results.php on line 85"

(Code snippets included in the next section).

I've tried writing additional code to copy the contents to a temporary file, and replace the "illegal" characters with blank spaces, but thats quite inefficent as the ini file can be several hundred lines long and I only need to parse the 20 or 30 lines within it.

I've read similar posts regarding this problem, but they're said to be fixed.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Line 85 of the code is:
$settings_array = parse_ini_file($inifile, TRUE);

Also relevant, looking for the section "Applications Packages"
--
$applications = array_filter($applicationsArray['Applications Packages'], "isInstalledApplications");
--

This is the value to be matched to the keys.
--
function isInstalledApplications($var) {
   return($var == 'INSTALLED' );
}
--

Output code.  $station is part of the ini file name, which makes up $inifile eg, station1.ini.  Could be tidier, I know ;-)
--
  <?php
      foreach($applications as $key => $value)
      {
        $station	= str_replace('.ini', '', $key);
        $key		= str_replace('.ini', '', $key);
   ?>
--



 


Expected result:
----------------
--
The following items are installed on <workstation name here>

Winamp
Macromedia Shockwave Player 10
Windows (test) Media Player 10 Series
Office XP Security Patch KB830346
Acrobat Reader 6.0
--



Actual result:
--------------
--
The following items are installed on <workstation name here>

"Warning: Error parsing \\server1\file.ini on line 3 in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test\results.php on line 85"

Winamp
