ini_section_exists(section);
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| section | The section in the open .ini file to check for. |
Returns: Boolean
This function checks to see if a section exists in the currently
open ini. This is not a necessary check to prevent errors as, when
a section does not exist, reading from a non-existent section will
just return a default value, however it can be useful to see if an
ini file has saved specific data.
ini_open("savedata.ini");
if !ini_section_exists("save1")
{
global.savegame = '1';
}
ini_close();
This will set variable global.savegame to '1' if 'save1' is NOT found. With a for loop, this could be used as a basic way of working out how many save games there are for a game (ie: creating a system for multiple simultaneous save games for one game).
