I wanted a simple *function* to convert the output of phpinfo into an array. Here's what I came up with thanks to alot of the previous authors tips, and the source file: php-5.2.6/ext/standard/info.c
Call this function like phpinfo_array() prints the array, phpinfo_array(1) returns the array for your own processing.
== Sample Output ==
[PHP Configuration] => Array

[PHP Version] => 5.2.6

)
[mbstring] => Array
