 New Comment:

Like Johannes said it requires extending the module_entry, while it can be introduced in a minor
version, it does mean another #ifdef for cross version compatibility, so probably best in the next
major version, tho I don't expect this to be a large use

It is not that easy as PHP extensions might come from third party sources. This requires extending
the module_entry structure. (zend_extions interestingly provide this functionality ...)

Description:
------------
To make it easier to find information for items enabled in the PHP build why not link the output of
phpinfo() to the specific manual pages?

This would be easy to achieve, as follows:

In /ext/standard/info.c change line 70 from:

php_printf("<h2><a name=\"module_%s\">%s</a></h2>\n",
module->name, module->name);

To:

php_printf("<h2><a href=\"http://www.php.net/%s\"
title=\"%s\">%s</a></h2>\n", module->name, module->name,
module->name);

Thank you

Sean :)
