i want to use a variable as a key in an ini file, i am using this so a can add a new line of text (string) into the ini file and add as many as i like and change the "Key" each time by adding +1 to it

ini_open('filename.ini')

varA=ini_read_real('section','numberon',0)
varA+=1
varB=get_string('text to add','')

ini_write_real('section','numberon',obj_controler.varA)
ini_write_string('section',obj_controler.varA,obj_controler.varB)
ini_close()

the problem i am having is that the ini_write_string will not let me use the "varA" as the key, it ends up blank in the ini file

ini_write_string('section',obj_controler.varA,obj_controler.varB)

the problem i am having is that the ini_write_string will not let me use the "varA" as the key, it ends up blank in the ini file

Shouldn't this line actually read:

ini_write_string('section',string(obj_controler.varA),obj_controler.varB)

No problem

The string() function converts a real value into a string, and as that argument in ini_write needs to be a string, this function will allow you to write the real number you have as a string into the ini file.
