Description:
------------
The pattern for section in ini-files (as used in php.ini and each file used with parse_ini_file()) is wrong.  It looks like (in Zend/zend_ini_scanner.l:140):

<INITIAL>[[][^[]+[\]][ ]*{NEWLINE}? 

That means that the following example won't work:

[section]
var = "val"
var2 = "]"
var3 = "val3"

Try to run this through parse_ini_file(). The pattern should look like:

<INITIAL>\[[^\]]+\][ ]*{NEWLINE}? 

If you'd like to disallow brackets in section name, you could use the following pattern:

<INITIAL>\[[^\]\[]+\][ ]*{NEWLINE}?
