INI file to multidimensional array in PHP

Question

I have the next INI file:

a.b.c = 1
a.b.d.e = 2

I am parsing this file using parse_ini_file. And it returns:

array(
    \'a

This is how I see it:

 &$value) {
            if (is_array($value)) {
                self::fix_ini_multi($value);
            }
            if (strpos($key, '.') !== FALSE) {
                $key_arr = explode('.', $key);
                $last_key = array_pop($key_arr);
                $cur_elem = &$ini_arr;
                foreach ($key_arr AS $key_step) {
                    if (!isset($cur_elem[$key_step])) {
                        $cur_elem[$key_step] = array();
                    }
                    $cur_elem = &$cur_elem[$key_step];
                }
                $cur_elem[$last_key] = $value;
                unset($ini_arr[$key]);
            }
        }
    }

}


var_dump(ParseIniMulti::parse('test.ini'));
