both suggestions work fine, thank you very much. in fact, the first
fix didnt work till I did the second.

i am aware of this, thanks. The main reason i liked the class above
was:
// check for comma's and spaces in value, if so make array of it
if (strpos($value, ", ")) {
$list = explode (",", $value);
though, really, I could just send the results of parse-ini-file through
that. Also, for this thing i'm doing, I might need even more
dimensions with named keys, so, I guess I'll need to modify the code to
look for [key] within the values, etc.
