$fName='/var/tmp/norvegian.txt';
$fp = fopen($fName, 'w');
fwrite($fp, $file_content);

I see, that there are some limitations in keys, but this one is very uncomfortable, since "no" is the official ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of Norway.

As a workaround, put a space at the beginning of the line. Not sure it should work, but it does.

$file_content=<<<thisone
 no = "norvegian"
thisone;

If you've got control over the codes used, ISO639-2 provides three-letter codes for languages; neither "yes" nor "off" conflict with this list.

Thx a at b dot c dot de, of course I have control over the code, since I am writing that. It is some kind of parameter check of the online Google translator, and sadly, they use "no" as an identifier for "Norvegian". The simpliest way is: $chkarray["no"]="Norvegian". As a php source code, it is accepted, and works error-free. Some sniffing around docs, makes clear, that nowadays there is no official put_ini_file, or similar function, therefore all of us have the ability writing a proprietary code.It can be either file_put_contents, or write it line-by line, etc, or just write 1 line to the end of the strem, as I did. Writing a space to the beginning of each line is simple and effective.

To requinix: thxs, it works, and I do apologize forgetting earlier to send that reply to you.
