note 102323 added to function.parse-ini-file

The supposedly php-compatible browscap.ini file available from browser.garykeith.com will not parse, because some of the section keys contain semicolon (;) or single-quote (') characters.

To avoid this, simply backslash-escape the offending characters:

<?php
$in = fopen('http://browsers.garykeith.com/stream.asp?PHP_BrowsCapINI', 'r');
$out = fopen('browcap.ini', 'w');
fwrite(
  $out,
  preg_replace(
    array(
      "/(?<![;\n])([;'])/",
      '/\A\\\\/'
    ),
    array(
      '\\\\$1',
      ''
    ),
    fread($in)
  )
);
fclose($in);
fclose($out);
$parsed = parse_ini_file('browscap.ini');
?>
