Is there a way to specify a one dimensional array in a ini file.

You can use separators to make further sub-sections, and they are presented as either another level of objects ($config->some->a) or with $config->toArray(), they can be turned into a multi-level array.

Combining both the above techniques to make arrays, and the separators like so:

some.a[] = a
some.a[] = b
some.b[] = c

will give the results you are looking for.

array('some' => array('a' => array(0 => 'a',
                                   1 => 'b'),
                      'b' => array(0 => 'c')
                     ));
