/**
 * Allows the configuration of log4php from an external file.
 * 
 * See {@link doConfigure()} for the expected format.
 * 
 * <p>It is sometimes useful to see how log4php is reading configuration
 * files. You can enable log4php internal logging by defining the
 * <b>log4php.debug</b> variable.</p>
 *
 * <p>The <i>LoggerPropertyConfigurator</i> does not handle the
 * advanced configuration features supported by the {@link LoggerDOMConfigurator} 
 * such as support for {@link LoggerFilter}, 
   custom {@link LoggerErrorHandlers}, nested appenders such as the 
   {@link Logger AsyncAppender}, 
 * etc.
 * 
 * <p>All option <i>values</i> admit variable substitution. The
 * syntax of variable substitution is similar to that of Unix
 * shells. The string between an opening <b>&quot;${&quot;</b> and
 * closing <b>&quot;}&quot;</b> is interpreted as a key. The value of
 * the substituted variable can be defined as a system property or in
 * the configuration file itself. The value of the key is first
 * searched in the defined constants, in the enviroments variables
 * and if not found there, it is
 * then searched in the configuration file being parsed.  The
 * corresponding value replaces the ${variableName} sequence.</p>
 * <p>For example, if <b>$_ENV['home']</b> env var is set to
 * <b>/home/xyz</b>, then every occurrence of the sequence
 * <b>${home}</b> will be interpreted as
 * <b>/home/xyz</b>. See {@link LoggerOptionConverter::getSystemProperty()}
 * for details.</p>

    /**
     * Read configuration from a file.
     *
     * <p>The function {@link PHP_MANUAL#parse_ini_file} is used to read the
     * file.</p>
     *
     * <b>The existing configuration is not cleared nor reset.</b> 
     * If you require a different behavior, then call 
     * {@link  LoggerManager::resetConfiguration()} 
     * method before calling {@link doConfigure()}.
     * 
     * <p>The configuration file consists of statements in the format
     * <b>key=value</b>. The syntax of different configuration
     * elements are discussed below.
     * 
     * <p><b>Repository-wide threshold</b></p>
     * 
     * <p>The repository-wide threshold filters logging requests by level
     * regardless of logger. The syntax is:
     * 
     * <pre>
     * log4php.threshold=[level]
     * </pre>
     * 
     * <p>The level value can consist of the string values OFF, FATAL,
     * ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, ALL or a <i>custom level</i> value. A
     * custom level value can be specified in the form
     * <samp>level#classname</samp>. By default the repository-wide threshold is set
     * to the lowest possible value, namely the level <b>ALL</b>.
     * </p>
     * 
     * 
     * <p><b>Appender configuration</b></p>
     * 
     * <p>Appender configuration syntax is:</p>
     * <pre>
     * ; For appender named <i>appenderName</i>, set its class.
     * ; Note: The appender name can contain dots.
     * log4php.appender.appenderName=name_of_appender_class
     * 
     * ; Set appender specific options.
     * 
     * log4php.appender.appenderName.option1=value1
     * log4php.appender.appenderName.optionN=valueN
     * </pre>
     * 
     * For each named appender you can configure its {@link LoggerLayout}. The
     * syntax for configuring an appender's layout is:
     * <pre>
     * log4php.appender.appenderName.layout=name_of_layout_class
     * log4php.appender.appenderName.layout.option1=value1
     *  ....
     * log4php.appender.appenderName.layout.optionN=valueN
     * </pre>
     * 
     * <p><b>Configuring loggers</b></p>
     * 
     * <p>The syntax for configuring the root logger is:
     * <pre>
     * log4php.rootLogger=[level], appenderName, appenderName, ...
     * </pre>
     * 
     * <p>This syntax means that an optional <i>level</i> can be
     * supplied followed by appender names separated by commas.
     * 
     * <p>The level value can consist of the string values OFF, FATAL,
     * ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, ALL or a <i>custom level</i> value. A
     * custom level value can be specified in the form</p>
     *
     * <pre>level#classname</pre>
     * 
     * <p>If a level value is specified, then the root level is set
     * to the corresponding level.  If no level value is specified,
     * then the root level remains untouched.
     * 
     * <p>The root logger can be assigned multiple appenders.
     * 
     * <p>Each <i>appenderName</i> (separated by commas) will be added to
     * the root logger. The named appender is defined using the
     * appender syntax defined above.
     * 
     * <p>For non-root categories the syntax is almost the same:
     * <pre>
     * log4php.logger.logger_name=[level|INHERITED|NULL], appenderName, appenderName, ...
     * </pre>
     * 
     * <p>The meaning of the optional level value is discussed above
     * in relation to the root logger. In addition however, the value
     * INHERITED can be specified meaning that the named logger should
     * inherit its level from the logger hierarchy.</p>
     * 
     * <p>If no level value is supplied, then the level of the
     * named logger remains untouched.</p>
     * 
     * <p>By default categories inherit their level from the
     * hierarchy. However, if you set the level of a logger and later
     * decide that that logger should inherit its level, then you should
     * specify INHERITED as the value for the level value. NULL is a
     * synonym for INHERITED.</p>
     * 
     * <p>Similar to the root logger syntax, each <i>appenderName</i>
     * (separated by commas) will be attached to the named logger.</p>
     * 
     * <p>See the <i>appender additivity rule</i> in the user manual for 
     * the meaning of the <b>additivity</b> flag.
     * 
     * <p><b>ObjectRenderers</b></p>
     * 
     * <p>You can customize the way message objects of a given type are
     * converted to String before being logged. This is done by
     * specifying a {@link LoggerObjectRenderer}
     * for the object type would like to customize.</p>
     * 
     * <p>The syntax is:
     * 
     * <pre>
     * log4php.renderer.name_of_rendered_class=name_of_rendering.class
     * </pre>
     * 
     * As in,
     * <pre>
     * log4php.renderer.myFruit=myFruitRenderer
     * </pre>
     * 
     * <p><b>Logger Factories</b></p>
     * 
     * The usage of custom logger factories is discouraged and no longer
     * documented.
     * 
     * <p><b>Example</b></p>
     * 
     * <p>An example configuration is given below. Other configuration
     * file examples are given in the <b>tests</b> folder.
     * 
     * <pre>
     * ; Set options for appender named "A1".
     * ; Appender "A1" will be a SyslogAppender
