The method in PHP to manipulate the ini configuration file

PHP operates on the ini configuration file

<?php
// write ini file 
function write_ini_file($assoc_arr, $path, $has_sections=FALSE)
{
    $content = "";
    if ($has_sections)
    {
        foreach ($assoc_arr as $key=>$elem)
        {
            $content .= "[".$key."]\n";
            foreach ($elem as $key2=>$elem2)
            {
                if(is_array($elem2))
                {
                    for($i=0;$i<count($elem2);$i++)
                    {
                        $content .= $key2."[] = \"".$elem2[$i]."\"\n";
                    }
                }
                else if($elem2=="") $content .= $key2." = \n";
                else $content .= $key2." = \"".$elem2."\"\n";
            }
        }
    }
    else
    {
        foreach ($assoc_arr as $key=>$elem)
        {
            if(is_array($elem))
            {
                for($i=0;$i<count($elem);$i++)
                {
                    $content .= $key2."[] = \"".$elem[$i]."\"\n";
                }
            }
            else if($elem=="") $content .= $key2." = \n";
            else $content .= $key2." = \"".$elem."\"\n";
        }
    }
    if (!$handle = fopen($path, 'w'))
    {
        return false;
    }
    if (!fwrite($handle, $content))
    {
        return false;
    }
    fclose($handle);
    return true;
}
// usage 
//
$sampleData = array(
                'first' => array(
                    'first-1' => 1,
                    'first-2' => 2,
                    'first-3' => 3,
                    'first-4' => 4,
                    'first-5' => 5,
                ),
                'second' => array(
                    'second-1' => 1,
                    'second-2' => 2,
                    'second-3' => 3,
                    'second-4' => 4,
                    'second-5' => 5,
                ));
write_ini_file($sampleData, './data.ini', true);
// read ini file 
public function readini($name)
{
    if (file_exists(SEM_PATH.'init/'.$name))
    {
        $data = parse_ini_file(SEM_PATH.'init/'.$name,true);
        if ($data)
        {
        return $data;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}

If you are working in python, you need to remove the double quotes around the configuration file values generated by PHP. That is, get rid of the \" from the ini configuration file function above, OK.
