#Description This package facilitates parsing and reading configurations from ini files. To create a hierarchical ini file, the only thing to do is to write keys seperated by a delimiter (by default '.') to specify parent and child. For example:

[application]
title="title"
db.username="username"
db.password="123"

You can also use a value by it's key in another configuration value:

[application]
url=http://localhost/my-app
login=${url}/login

Note: ${url} assumes url key is in the current section, it can be written like ${application.url}. If you want to refer to ${url} in another section (e.g. global), you should mention it as a prefix e.g. ${global.url}.
If you are using multi-level configuration keys (e.g. application.config.db.username), write the root as prefix, e.g. ${prefix.variable}.

#Features

• Easy to use
• Convenient Integration
• Support for hierarchical data structure
• Section inheritance
• Array configs
• Key-value binding

#How to use Pass the ini configuration path to the parse method:

$ini = PHProp::parse("path/to/ini");

If your scope delimiter is not '.', give your delimiter as the second parameter:

$ini = PHProp::parse("path/to/ini", "/");

After getting the object, the username can be accessed easily:

$ini->application->db->username 

or

$ini['application']['db']['username']

To get the number of application's children:

count($ini->application);
