parse_ini_file parse_ini_string bug when when INI_SCANNER_TYPED

[GajowyJ]

Description

The following code:

<?php
$txt = "variable = -00 20 30";
$ret=parse_ini_string($txt,FALSE,INI_SCANNER_TYPED);
var_dump($ret['variable']);

Resulted in this output:

string(7) "0 20 30"

But I expected this output instead:

string(9) "-00 20 30"

or

int(0)

PHP Version

PHP 8.1.17

Operating System

Windows 10

The INI scanner converts each token (word) independently. If it is convertible (analogous to is_numeric in PHP) it will be, no matter where after = it appears. https://3v4l.org/0BjuD We might want to try converting the values only in the parser when they appear as standalone values (i.e. when they aren't part of some other expression). I'll give that a shot.

Nothing has changed in PHP v 8.1.18. The issue still exists. Shouldn't the ticket be reopened?

@GajowyJ The fix has only been added to master, which means as things are now it will only be present in the next series of PHP (probably 8.3).

@iluuu1994 Is that intentional?
