Description:
------------
If, on my Win XP Pro, I invoke the CLI php.exe or php-win.exe to do:
<? phpinfo() ?>
then I see that only the odbc.default_pw line has html markup:
odbc.default_pw <i>no value</i> <i>no value</i>

That line seems incorrect, being at odds with the rest of the output
generated, which has no html markup.

Expected result:
----------------
OK, the reason for this trivial, though real, report is actually to ask
a question, lest I missed something, before filing a suggestion.

A perfectly reasonable thing to do with CLI PHP is to bring up IE and
have it do things, including displaying html formatted phpinfo(), but
the below code will not format it (as is also noted at
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28405 )

<?php
    // bring up IE (from CLI)
    $ie = new COM("InternetExplorer.Application");
    $ie->Navigate("about:blank");
    $ie->visible = true;

    // try to get formatted phpinfo();
    ini_set("html_errors", "1");
    ob_start();
    phpinfo();
    $phpinfo = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();

    // output it to IE
    $ie->Document->Write($phpinfo);
?> 

The suggestion that I got at
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.php/browse_frm/thread/8b98f603dcd62123/
was to use the CGI version of PHP.  Which works.  But that begs the
question of why have the CLI version at all, then.

Thus, my real question is:  Wouldn't it make sense to have phpinfo()
respect the html_errors setting, or, have a 2nd, optional argument on
phpinfo() to allow it use the "other" format.  Unless it's already
possible or there's a reason not to, I'll presume to file this as a
suggestion.

Thanks,
Csaba Gabor from Vienna
