PHP - How to parse config files .?

Hello Mr.Experts,
Thank you for all your valuable advices.

I work for a small private Software Development company that take coract tasks
with many small businesses and hi-tech software farm in California.
I am looking to take another monthly project in September.

It is a web application development project which involves both Front end and
back end programming (PHP, JS, CSS, XHTML, MySQL)

I am OK comfortable with all skill required for that project except one
requirement as mentioned below.
Could you advise what is means and where or how to find tutorials or codes...?
I have no idea what it is and tying to figure it out...
Thank you. Any help is appreciated.

It says:

"This project required experience and skill to parse config files, show command outputs etc"

INI files are very good for simple structures. Ideally, non related sections, though you can simulate levels (ala Zend_Config when using INI files).

XML files allow far more complex structuring.

By using a tool along the lines of Zend_Config, you can use 1 tool to read/write the config, but store the data in the appropriate way.
