ID: 49294 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported By: andreww at uk dot ibm dot com -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Bug Type: Reflection related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.*, 6 (2009-08-20) -Assigned To: +Assigned To: johannes New Comment: 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 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/?id=49294&edit=1
