php ini class cannot see whats going wrong - php

Question

im trying to create a php class that will transform an ini in to an array ie:
example.ini...
[helloworld]
testing=1234
the array should look like:
array {
"helloworld" = array {
"testing" = "1234"
}
}
my code fo far is this:
<?php
require_once "UseFullFunctions.inc.php";
class INI {
protected $Keys = array();
protected $Values = array();
public function __construct($FileName) {
if (!file_exists($FileName)){
throwException('File not found',$FileName);
}
$File = fopen($FileName, 'r');
$isIn = "";
while (($line = fgets($File)) !== false) {
if(!startswith($line,'#')){ // checks if the line is a comment
if(startswith($line,'[')){
$isIn = trim($line,'[]');
$this->Keys[$isIn] = '';
$this->Values[$isIn] = array();
} else {
if ($isIn != ""){
$vars = explode("=",$line);
$this->Values[$isIn][$vars[0]] = $vars[1];
}
}
}
}
var_dump($this->Values);
if (!feof($File)) {
echo "Error: unexpected fgets() fail\n";
}
fclose($File);
}
public function getValues() {
return $this->Values;
}
}
?>
the other functions(starts with, throwexception) ive already tested and work fine but it still returns a blank array i think its stuffing up just after it checks if the line is a comment but it doesnt come up with an error messages so i cant be sure
just incase here is my starts with code:
function throwException($message = null,$code = null) {
throw new Exception($message,$code);
}
function startsWith($haystack, $needle)
{
return !strncmp($haystack, $needle, strlen($needle));
}
