PHP and Windows INI files

[mosscliff]

Are there any PHP scripts for handling windows style INI files

ie

[section]
one = great
two=not very good
etc
[next section]

Also how do you handle multi-selects from an input field on a form

The brain is getting too old to work it out myself !!!

Thanks

<select name="multiple_ select" multiple="multi ple">
<option value="value">l abel</option>
<option value="value2"> label2</option>
<option value="value3"> label3</option>
</select>

foreach ($_POST['multiple_selec t'] as $key => $value) {
...
}

Many thanks, now I have no excuses, for not finishing, this weekend.
I am a bit in the dark with regard to the key => value construct, but
I will give your solution a try and see what prints.

As an aside, Is it best to use print or echo with PHP. If only
because it is one less character to parse, I wondered about using echo
always. I know about the short version, but would prefer to use the
full word for better documentation.

Thanks Again

^^^^^^
Should be <select name="multiple_ select[]" multiple="multi ple">
