Subject: new browscap INI parser
From: jay@php.net (Jay Smith)


I know this isn't exactly as exciting as goto, but I finally got a bit of
time away from work and whatnot to finally fix the oddities with the
browscap/ini parser.

A tarball with the patch and the new files for HEAD is available at 

http://bugs.tutorbuddy.com/download.php/browscap.patch.tar.gz

It's basically just a rip of some of the code from Zend/zend_ini_(parser
scanner) with a few modifications to prevent operator handling and that
sort of thing. It still uses the Zend ini code for pretty everything except
the actual parser and scanner.

I know this probably won't get into the 5.0.x branch, but I'd like to get it
into 5.1.0 if possible. I've only had a chance to test it out on linux, so
I have no idea if it builds on Windows or anything else for that matter (my
Win2k dev box was recently reappropriated at work so I can't test it at the
moment) so if somebody could take a look at that I'd appreciate it.

If everything checks out, I'd like to commit it to HEAD sometime in the near
future...

thx
