parse_ini_string — Parse a configuration string

array parse_ini_string ( string $ini [, bool $process_sections=false [, int $scanner_mode=INI_SCANNER_NORMAL ]] )

parse_ini_string() returns the settings in string ini in an associative array.

The structure of the ini string is the same as the php.ini's.

ini: The contents of the ini file being parsed.
process_sections: By setting the process_sections parameter to TRUE, you get a multidimensional array, with the section names and settings included. The default for process_sections is FALSE
scanner_mode: Can either be INI_SCANNER_NORMAL (default) or INI_SCANNER_RAW. If INI_SCANNER_RAW is supplied, then option values will not be parsed.

The settings are returned as an associative array on success, and FALSE on failure.
