Thanks Brian, yes, that’s better!

I’ve made a further change too, by stopping the white-space occurring by modifying preg_match, instead of removing it later with trim.
To conclude, all 3 files are pasted below;

**** Settings ****
Edit and add your settings below, and save this file back as settings.conf

emoncms local IP address
emoncms_server="http://192.168.1.10/emoncms"

Needs to be emoncms write API key
emoncmsapikey=""

Database user name - default is emoncms
dbuser="emoncms"

Database user password
dbpass=""

Database name - default is emoncms
dbname="emoncms"

Path to emoncms data directories
datadir="/var/lib"

Create archive backups of node-red flows, configs etc. Y or N
nodered="N"

Node-red backup dir, default is /home/pi/.node-red
NRdir="/home/pi/.node-red"

Number of days of archives to store
store="7"

PHP file;

#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php

$fh=fopen("settings.conf", "r");
$pattern='/^(\w+)="([\w\/\.\:]+)"/';
while ($line=fgets($fh, 80)) {

if (preg_match($pattern, $line, $match)) {
     $conf[$match[1]]=$match[2];
     }
}

print_r($conf);

extract($conf);

echo "$dbuser\n";
echo "$emoncms_server\n";
echo "$NRdir\n";
echo "$store\n";

…and the Bash file;

#!/bin/bash
eval `egrep '^([a-zA-Z_]+)="(.*)"' settings.conf`

echo "$dbuser"
echo "$emoncms_server"
echo "$NRdir"
echo "$store"
