[2004-08-20 19:57 UTC] robert at osuosl dot org

Description:
------------
for URLs inside of an .ini file, the parse_ini_file will break when it encounters a tilde (~). Inside of IniFile.php, circa line 122, you have a bunch of conditions "or"ed together, looking for semicolons, commas, percents, etc. Tilde needs to be added to this list in order to allow URLs such as:
http://www.example.com/~username/

After making the change, here's the diff:

123d122
< strpos($content, '~') !== false ||

Reproduce code:
---------------
--config.conf.php--
[server]
url="http://www.example.com/~username/path"

<?php
// config.php
include("Config.php");
$c = new Config();
$configFile = "config.conf.php";
$root = $c->parseConfig($configFile, "IniFile");
$serverSection = $root->getItem("section", "server");
$server_uriDirective = $serverSection->getItem("directive", "uri");
$server_uriDirective->setContent($server_uriDirective->getContent() );
$res = $c->writeConfig();
///////
$root = $c->parseConfig($configFile, "IniFile");
?>

Expected result:
----------------
--config.conf.php--
[server]
url="http://www.example.com/~username/path"

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: Error parsing config.conf.php on line 2
in /usr/share/php/Config/Container/IniFile.php on line 63

--resulting config.conf.php--
[server]
uri=http://www.example.com/~username/path

I'm having this problem with PHP v4.3.10 and Config 1.10.3. Tilde's in iniFile-formatted configuration files cause errors:

Warning: Error parsing /home/richtl/workspace.tmp/mm_trunk/mindmeld.config on line 3 in /usr/share/pear/Config/Container/IniFile.php on line 63

Line 3 of mindmeld.config reads:
site=/~richtl

Did this bug ever really get fixed?
