Most of the stuff available from phpinfo() can be found in constants. Try looking through:

print_r(get_defined_constants());

Or the functions on this page: http://us.php.net/manual/en/ref.info.php. There are tons of functions to get information about specific extensions.

The following functions might be worth looking at:

ini_get() http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-get.php
getenv() http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.getenv.php
get_cfg_var() http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.get-cfg-var.php
