Class IniReader

Ini file configuration parser. Since IniReader uses parse_ini_file underneath, you should be aware that this class shares the same behavior, especially with regards to boolean and null values.

In addition to the native parse_ini_file features, IniReader also allows you to create nested array structures through usage of . delimited names. This allows you to create nested arrays structures in an ini config file. For example:

db.password = secret would turn into array('db' => array('password' => 'secret'))

You can nest properties as deeply as needed using .'s. In addition to using . you can use standard ini section notation to create nested structures:

{{{ [section] key = value }}}

Once loaded into Configure, the above would be accessed using:

`Configure::read('section.key');

You can combine . separated values with sections to create more deeply nested structures.

IniReader also manipulates how the special ini values of 'yes', 'no', 'on', 'off', 'null' are handled. These values will be converted to their boolean equivalents.
