 New Comment:

I did find a solution, in parse_ini_file adding the flag INI_SCANNER_RAW
fixes it, and for us we can just outright add it, but I am not sure how
you would want to make it optional in the long run. I suggest optional
because that is how parse_ini_file handles it.

Description:
------------
If there is a set of backslashes \\ say when working with a 
windows network share in the config, they are combined into a 
single \.

eg. \\test.corp.com\ becomes \test.corp.com\

Test script:
---------------
// test_config.ini
//[Repository]
//BuildLocation = "\\\test.corp.com\"
//RepoUser = "[email protected]"
//RepoPass = "Password01"

$test_config = new Config_Lite("test_config.ini");
$test_config->save();

// test_config.ini
//[Repository]
//BuildLocation = "\\test.corp.com\"
//RepoUser = "[email protected]"
//RepoPass = "Password01"

Expected result:
----------------
If I read in the config and write it back out, the values should not 
be changed. Quotes can be added etc, but the value should be 
consistent.

Actual result:
--------------
// test_config.ini
//[Repository]
//BuildLocation = "\\\test.corp.com\"
//RepoUser = "[email protected]"
//RepoPass = "Password01"

/** becomes **/

// test_config.ini
//[Repository]
//BuildLocation = "\\test.corp.com\"
//RepoUser = "[email protected]"
//RepoPass = "Password01"
