PHP ini parsing error

Question

I am getting ini Parsing Error for the following ini file:

[photo]
price = 5.00

[shipping]
South Africa[value] = 50.00
South Africa[incremental] = 100

Pakistan[value] = 120.00
Pakistan[incremental] = 100

[discount]
min[quantity] = 50
min[value] = 5

max[quantity] = 150
max[value] = 10

[admin]
email = [email protected]
name = Admin
subject = Your order with xxx

The error comes on Line #5

It's quite weird. The same file works fine on my own machine but not on remote server

@scibuff putting it quotes did not make any difference. Same error — Volatil3

Any particular reason you can't do something like

$ini = array();

$ini["photo"]["price"] = 5.00;

$ini["shipping"]["South Africa"]["value"] = 50.00;
$ini["shipping"]["South Africa"]["incremental"] = 100;

The Ini file will be used by someone who does not know programming, way easier than setting array in PHP file. The thing is, it works fine on my local machine but not remote. Is there any version issue or something else

The value like *South Africa[value] is creating problem, seems its not accepting nested values

Ok its confirmed, its not parsing nested values,I don't get why its like that.

what php version does the server have?

I rather made it as a PHP array like you mentioned. Thanks for your help

Upgrade to PHP5.3.1 to parse nested variables' values.

We've just confirmed the same issue on one of our LAMP servers, running PHP 5.2.17 as well.

The same code works on a different server running PHP5.3.8
