ID: 49294 Updated by: ka...@php.net Reported by: andreww at uk dot ibm dot com Summary: ReflectionExtension::info() returns null Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Reflection related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.*, 6 (2009-08-20) Assigned To: johannes New Comment: 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 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-28 04:31:09] ka...@php.net The following patch has been added/updated: Patch Name: bug-49294 Revision: 1275013869 URL: http://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug=49294&patch=bug-49294&revision=1275013869 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-20 10:37:05] j...@php.net 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-20 09:54:59] j...@php.net There is no such OS as "Any". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-19 13:45:36] andreww at uk dot ibm dot com 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49294&edit=1
