The INI_GETSECTION() function returns all the key/value pairs from a specified section of an 'ini' file. The value is returned as an object.

; or a ';'
#
# "Sections" are enclosed in [ and ]
[global]
; key/value pairs are contained in the sections and are written like this
 	key1 = value
 	key2 = value2
; You can include macros in the key/value pairs.
 	key3 = This is $(key2) and $(key1)
# end of test.ini
obj_global = ini_getsection('global','test.ini')
? obj_global.key3
