Introduction
============

[](#introduction)

This is a basic configuration/`.ini` file parser built with PHP. It's designed to be error-safe, and provides the opportunity to use a default value if one is not found.

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require amattu/IniParser
```

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

Composer project usage

```
require(__DIR__ . "/vendor/autoload.php");

$config = new amattu\IniParser(__DIR__ . "/conf.ini");
```

Without composer

```
require(__DIR__ . "/src/IniParser.php");

$config = new amattu\IniParser(__DIR__ . "/conf.ini");
```

construct
---------

[](#construct)

The class constructor accepts the file location (path + name), and an optional boolean argument on parsing the individual sections (usually denoted by `[NAME]`).

### PHPDoc

[](#phpdoc)

```
/**
 * Configuration reader constructor
 *
 * @param string $file The path to the configuration file
 * @param ?bool $sections Whether to parse individual sections or not
 * @throws TypeError
 * @author Alec M.
 */
public function __construct(string $filename, ?bool $sections = false)
```

---

get
---

[](#get)

The `get` function will attempt to pull the value from the section specified (... if specified), and if not found, will return the default parameter. All of the arguments except `$key` are optional.

### Usage

[](#usage-1)

```
$usernameOrDefault = $config->get("USERNAME", "GMAIL_SECTION", "defaultUserName");
```

### PHPDoc

[](#phpdoc-1)

```
/**
 * Get configuration file property
 *
 * @param string $key The property to get
 * @param string|null $section The section to get the property from
 * @param ?mixed $default value to return if the property is not found
 * @return $config[$key] || $default || null
 * @throws TypeError
 * @author Alec M.
 */
public function get(string $key, ?string $section = null, ?mixed $default = null) : mixed
```
