PHP: Escape illegal chars in .ini-files

The documentation on parse_ini_file states that you can't use these chars {}|&am开发者_JS百科p;~![()^" in the value. Is there some way to escape these chars? I need to use them. Normal escaping with \ doesn't seem to work.

The manual says those characters can not be used in the key -- the opposite of the value. To use them in values, double-quote the string.

Try using INI_SCANNER_RAW (from the same documentation) for scanner_mode:

parse_ini_file ( $filename, true, INI_SCANNER_RAW );
