  // From: http://phpjs.org/functions
  // +   original by: Brett Zamir (http://brett-zamir.me)
  // %        note 1: The ini values must be set by ini_set or manually within an ini file
  // *     example 1: ini_get('date.timezone');
  // *     returns 1: 'Asia/Hong_Kong'

Please note that php.js uses JavaScript objects as substitutes for PHP arrays, they are 
the closest match to this hashtable-like data structure. 

Please also note that php.js offers community built functions and goes by the 
[McDonald's Theory](https://medium.com/what-i-learned-building/9216e1c9da7d). We'll put online 
functions that are far from perfect, in the hopes to spark better contributions. 
Do you have one? Then please just:
