Description:
------------
Manual page http://cz2.php.net/manual/en/function.php-ini-scanned-files.php talks about: "returns a comma-separated list" and example is

explode(',', $filelist)

But separator is ",\n", not only comma. Example should be:

explode(",\n", $filelist)


Actual behaviour is used in php-src/Make.global file:
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/28e0a2129bf932af8e74ab7b1040adbad34af3bd/Makefile.global#L96

The documentation states clearly the format of the output:

> Returns a comma-separated string of .ini files on success. Each comma is followed by a newline.

The example code produces the correct and desired result.

Not a bug ...

I was wrong, I'm sorry. But it is still confusing.

Description section says: "php_ini_scanned_files() returns a comma-separated list of configuration files..."

Return value section says: "Returns a comma-separated string of .ini files on success. Each comma is followed by a newline."

But newline is after last item too, not only after comma.
