I moved away from .ini files when I discovered json. Makes everything so easy.

$filePath = "/var/www/config.json";

// Puts the config into an array
$config = json_decode(file_get_contents($filePath));

// Saves array back to config file
file_put_contents($filePath, json_encode($config));

Perhaps take a look at parse_ini_file().
