What steps can be taken to troubleshoot issues with functions like parse_ini_file() not working as expected on a new server?

If functions like `parse_ini_file()` are not working as expected on a new server, it could be due to the PHP configuration settings. One common issue is the `allow_url_fopen` setting, which might be disabled on the new server. To resolve this, you can enable `allow_url_fopen` in the `php.ini` file or use alternative methods like `file_get_contents()` to read the INI file. 

// Check if allow_url_fopen is enabled
if (ini_get('allow_url_fopen') == 0) {
    // Enable allow_url_fopen
    ini_set('allow_url_fopen', 1);
}

// Use file_get_contents to read the INI file
$ini_data = file_get_contents('config.ini');

// Parse the contents of the INI file
$config = parse_ini_string($ini_data);
