Description:
------------
The documentation for the ReflectionExtension class shows info() as returning a string, but it returns NULL and prints the information directly to the screen.

I used the Windows installer package from Jun 29 2009 (basic install, no changes), but was also able to reproduce problem with the 5.3.1-dev snap from Aug 19 2009



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$ext = new ReflectionExtension('iconv');
$info = $ext->info();
printf("Info:\n%s\n", $info ? $info : 'NULL');
?>


Expected result:
----------------
Info: 

iconv support => enabled
iconv implementation => "libiconv"
iconv library version => 1.11

Directive => Local Value => Master Value
iconv.input_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
iconv.output_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
iconv.internal_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1


Actual result:
--------------
iconv

iconv support => enabled
iconv implementation => "libiconv"
iconv library version => 1.11

Directive => Local Value => Master Value
iconv.input_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
iconv.output_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
iconv.internal_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1

Info:
NULL

There is no such OS as "Any".

Assigned to Johannes who added this method. Seems quite weird that there's one single method that just outputs stuff instead of returning it. Not very consistent.

I added a simple patch that alters ReflectionExtension::info() to have a new optional parameter to return the information as an array. If it even makes sense, since the information here can already be retrieved by the getName(), getVersion() and getINIEntries() methods.

Johannes can you please review this and approve or reject it
 [2010-05-28 04:43 UTC] kalle@php.net 
Just FYI, my patch only contains the local value, not the master value. But in the end we can always alter the info() method to return a multi dim. array like:

php.ini:
apc.cache_by_default = 0;

Test script:
ini_set('apc.cache_by_default', '1');
$extension = new ReflectionExtension('apc');
$info = $extension->info();

printf('[local=%s] [master=%s]', $info['ini']['apc.cache_by_default']['local'], $info['ini']['apc.cache_by_default']['master']);

Would print:
[local=1] [master=0]
