## Installation
```json
composer require matomo/ini
```
## Why?
PHP provides a `parse_ini_file()` function to read INI files.
This component provides the following benefits over the built-in function:
- allows to write INI files
- classes can be used with dependency injection and mocked in unit tests
- throws exceptions instead of PHP errors
- better type supports:
- parses boolean values (`true`/`false`, `on`/`off`, `yes`/`no`) to real PHP booleans ([instead of strings `"1"` and `""`](http://3v4l.org/JuvOT))
- parses null to PHP `null` ([instead of an empty string](http://3v4l.org/KSoj2))
- works even if `parse_ini_file()` or `parse_ini_string()` is disabled in `php.ini` by falling back on an alternate implementation (can happen on some shared hosts)
## Usage
### Read
```php
$reader = new IniReader();
// Read a string
$array = $reader->readString($string);
// Read a file
$array = $reader->readFile('config.ini');
```
#### Troubleshooting
**unexpected BOOL_TRUE in Unknown on line X**
The PHP default implementation of read_ini_file does not allow bool-ish values as keys in when reading ini files.
Data like `yes = "Yes"` results in the following error:
```
Syntax error in INI configuration: syntax error, unexpected BOOL_TRUE in Unknown on line 6
```
To prevent from that error, please switch to the custom ini reader implementation by using:
```php
$reader = new IniReader();
$reader->setUseNativeFunction(false);
```
### Write
```php
$writer = new IniWriter();
// Write to a string
$string = $writer->writeToString($array);
// Write to a file
$writer->writeToFile('config.ini', $array);
```
