There is no security threat from the php function parse_ini_file. You don't parse the php's ini file! Ini files are like XML files. Just text files that contain information. Why your system administrator disabled this function is unknown to me. Ask him!

For your information:
Any php function, even echo(), can become dangerous under some circumstances. parse_ini_file can become dangerous if you allow your users/visitors to upload ini files. Why this? There is a related hacking method that tries to overhead variables or set constants via parsing a special ini file. This at 99,999%  does not work, for many reasons. It is safe to use parse_ini_files function.
