Reading INI files with PHP
Another easy tutorial, but it can be useful to store information outside of a MySQL database!First up, let's make the ini file:
INI Config Copy to clipboard
1 2 3 4 5 6
[SOMETHINGHERE] makesure=1 youinclude=23 thebrakets=345 [SOMETHINGELSE] YES=12
Alright, you MUST save that as a .ini file. Now for the PHP.
PHP Code Copy to clipboard
1 2 3 4 5
<?php $arr=parse_ini_file("Yourfile.INI",true); echo $arr['SOMETHINGHERE']['youinclude']; // echos 23 echo $arr['SOMETHINGELSE']['YES']; // echos 12 ?>
Just edit your .ini file as well as your .php file. Here is a full example:
Mystats.ini:
INI Config Copy to clipboard
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
[HP] AddPerLevel=140 AddPerStr=10 AddPerDef=0 AddPerMagi=0 AddPerSpeed=0 [MP] AddPerLevel=220 AddPerStr=0 AddPerDef=0 AddPerMagi=10 AddPerSpeed=0 [SP] AddPerLevel=330 AddPerStr=0 AddPerDef=0 AddPerMagi=0 AddPerSpeed=20
Now, I want to get AddPerLevel under MP.
PHP Code Copy to clipboard
1 2 3 4
<?php $arr=parse_ini_file("mystats.INI",true); echo $arr['MP']['AddPerLevel']; // echos 220 ?>
It's a pretty simple tutorial, enjoy!

if you use fopen it'll open the whole file, though you could most likely use file(); then check which line contains the content you want to edit.

Zerocool, you could use the fopen function.
