Description: ------------ When trying to deal with multiple configuration structures, such as : <section1> <directive1>value1</directive1> </section1> <section2> <directive2>value2</directive2> </section2> or <virtualRoot> <section1> <directive1>value1</directive1> </section1> <section2> <directive2>value2</directive2> </section2> </virtualRoot> that has or not a virtual root, i found a problem with PHPArray container and root attributes. Here is a script to explain conditions and results: I'm expected to have at least same output than input. I hope it's not a normal behavior ! BTW, it works well if we give a virtual root in data source such as: $test['conf']['@']['version'] = '1.0'; $test['conf']['pfm']['roles']['php'] = 'php'; $test['conf']['pfm']['roles']['*'] = 'data'; Test script: --------------- <?php require_once 'Config.php'; $test['@']['version'] = '1.0'; $test['pfm']['roles']['php'] = 'php'; $test['pfm']['roles']['*'] = 'data'; $conf = new Config(); $root =& $conf->parseConfig($test, 'phparray', array('name' => 'test')); $conf->writeConfig($_ENV['TMP'] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'writeConf.php', 'phparray', array('name' => 'test') ); echo '<pre>'. $root->toString('phparray', array('name' => 'test')) .'</pre>'; $attrs = $root->getAttributes(); echo '<pre>'; var_dump($attrs); echo '</pre>'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- $test['@']['version'] = '1.0'; $test['pfm']['roles']['php'] = 'php'; $test['pfm']['roles']['*'] = 'data'; array(1) { ["version"]=> string(3) "1.0" } Actual result: -------------- ['@']['version'] = '1.0'; $test['pfm']['roles']['php'] = 'php'; $test['pfm']['roles']['*'] = 'data'; array(1) { ["version"]=> string(3) "1.0" }

The patch at http://www.adamharvey.name/patches/Config-phparray-getParentString.patch should fix this, although it will need to be checked that it doesn't break BC in any case with the PHPArray container, since I don't personally use it.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been fixed in the latest released version of the package, which you can download at http://pear.php.net/get/Config
