Although I disagree that adding a C prerequisite to PHP ends this discussion, 
using pman is a related topic which can be installed like so:

  pear install doc.php.net/pman

Then, simply 'pman in_array' or similar will open local php man pages in shell. 
However, the pman files have not been updated for awhile so we'll look into 
this. Oh, guess we should create a 'pman pman' too.
