Hi Jim,

Cheers for the reply.

I had to swap the quotes around to get it running on the windows command
line.

This from the 5.3.0 machine that does not parse:
------------
C:\wamp\www\digishop\install\lang>C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\php -r
"print_r(parse_ini_file('1-ISO-8859-1.ini.php'));"
PHP Warning: parse error in 1-ISO-8859-1.ini.php on line 1
in Command line code on line 1

Warning: parse error in 1-ISO-8859-1.ini.php on line 1
in Command line code on line 1
------------

This is from the 5.2.5 machine that parses properly:
------------
C:\wamp\www\digishop\install\lang>C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5\php -r
"print_r(parse_ini_file('"1-ISO-8859-1.ini.php'));"
Array
(
[btn_step_complete] => Ok, I Have Completed This Step
[btn_next] => Next
[btn_cancel] => Cancel
....
..
..
------------

The php warning displayed is exac

php -v on the 5.3.0 machine:
------------
C:\wamp\www\digishop\install\lang>C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\php -v
PHP 5.3.0 (cli) (built: Jun 29 2009 21:25:23)
Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies
------------

php -v on the 5.3.0 machine:
------------
C:\wamp\www\digishop\install\lang>C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5\php -v
PHP 5.2.5 (cli) (built: Nov 8 2007 23:18:51)
Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies
------------

So I checked the changelog from 5.2.5 to 5.3.0:
o Added 3rd optional parameter to parse_ini_file() to
specify the scanning mode of INI_SCANNER_NORMAL or INI_SCANNER_RAW. In
raw mode option values and section values are treated as-is.
* Added parse_ini_string() function. (grange at lemonde dot fr,
Arnaud)
* Fixed bug #46347 (parse_ini_file() doesn't support * in keys).
(Nuno)
* Fixed bug #45384 (parse_ini_file will result in parse error with
no trailing newline). (Arnaud)
* Fixed bug #44842 (parse_ini_file keys that start/end with
underscore). (Arnaud)
* Fixed bug #44575 (parse_ini_file comment # line problems). (Arnaud)
* Fixed bug #45956 (parse_ini_file() does not return false with
syntax errors in parsed file). (Jani)



So I installed PHP 5.2.5 and it worked.

Thanks to everyone for their help!
