Parse Java properties files in PHP

java-properties.php

<?php
function parse_properties($txtProperties) {
	$result = array();
	$lines = split("\n", $txtProperties);
	$key = "";
	$isWaitingOtherLine = false;
	foreach ($lines as $i => $line) {
		if (empty($line) || (!$isWaitingOtherLine && strpos($line, "#") === 0))
			continue;
			
		if (!$isWaitingOtherLine) {
			$key = substr($line, 0, strpos($line, '='));
			$value = substr($line, strpos($line, '=')+1, strlen($line));        
		}
		else {
			$value .= $line;    
		}    

		/* Check if ends with single '\' */
		if (strrpos($value, "\\") === strlen($value)-strlen("\\")) {
			$value = substr($value,0,strlen($value)-1)."\n";
			$isWaitingOtherLine = true;
		}
		else {
			$isWaitingOtherLine = false;
		}
		
		$result[$key] = $value;    
		unset($lines[$i]);        
	}
	
	return $result;
}
