How can special characters or encoding issues in an ini file affect PHP parsing on different servers?

Special characters or encoding issues in an ini file can affect PHP parsing on different servers by causing syntax errors or unexpected behavior. To solve this issue, ensure that the ini file is saved in the correct encoding (such as UTF-8) and that special characters are properly escaped or encoded. 

// Specify the encoding when reading the ini file
$config = parse_ini_file('config.ini', true, INI_SCANNER_RAW | INI_SCANNER_TYPED, 'UTF-8');
