To extract all of the data from phpinfo into a nested array:
<?php
ob_start();
phpinfo();
$phpinfo = array('phpinfo' => array());
if(preg_match_all('#(?:<h2>(?:<a name=".*?">)?(.*?)(?:</a>)?</h2>)|(?:<tr(?: class=".*?")?><t[hd](?: class=".*?")?>(.*?)\s*</t[hd]>(?:<t[hd](?: class=".*?")?>(.*?)\s*</t[hd]>(?:<t[hd](?: class=".*?")?>(.*?)\s*</t[hd]>)?)?</tr>)#s', ob_get_clean(), $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER))
foreach($matches as $match)
if(strlen($match[1]))
$phpinfo[$match[1]] = array();
elseif(isset($match[3]))
$phpinfo[end(array_keys($phpinfo))][$match[2]] = isset($match[4]) ? array($match[3], $match[4]) : $match[3];
else
$phpinfo[end(array_keys($phpinfo))][] = $match[2];
?>
Some examples of using individual values from the array:
<?php
echo "System: {$phpinfo['phpinfo']['System']}<br />\n";
echo "Safe Mode: {$phpinfo['PHP Core']['safe_mode'][0]}<br />\n";
echo "License: {$phpinfo['PHP License'][0]}<br />\n";
?>
To display everything:
<?php
foreach($phpinfo as $name => $section) {
echo "<h3>$name</h3>\n<table>\n";
foreach($section as $key => $val) {
if(is_array($val))
echo "<tr><td>$key</td><td>$val[0]</td><td>$val[1]</td></tr>\n";
elseif(is_string($key))
echo "<tr><td>$key</td><td>$val</td></tr>\n";
else
echo "<tr><td>$val</td></tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";
}
?>
Note: In order to properly retrieve all of the data, the regular expression matches table headers as well as table data, resulting in 'Local Value' and 'Global Value' showing up as 'Directive' entries.
