How do I escape a new line character in a .ini file so that Zend_Config_Ini reads it literally?

Answer 1

What about using double-quotes arround your values, and using real newlines, like this :

message = "Hi {0},

This is a test message.
Goodbye!"

As an example, using this portion of code :

$config = new Zend_Config_Ini(APPLICATION_PATH . '/config/application.ini');
var_dump($config->production->testmessage);
die;

With application.ini containing this :

[production]

testmessage = "this is
a new
message"

I get the following output from my var_dump :

string(21) "this is
a new
message"
