Bug description:pathinfo() options parameter not as expected

Description:
------------
The options parameter of pathinfo() does not seem to operate according to
the description in the manual, nor as might be expected. The manual
description implies that if an options value consisting of more than one of
the bitwise PATHINFO_* constants is supplied, the return value will be a
string consisting of all the parts requested; however, this is not the case
-- only the part corresponding to the lowest bit is returned.

This seems both contrary to the documentation and completely illogical.

It would be much better if pathinfo returned an array of the requested
elements, *except* when a single element is requested. If this is deemed
not possible due to BC, either the behaviour or the documentation should be
fixed so that they match!

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$info = pathinfo('/path/name/file.ext',
PATHINFO_FILENAME+PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
var_dump($info);
?>


Expected result:
----------------
EITHER:
   array(2) {
     ["extension"]=>
     string(3) "ext"
     ["filename"]=>
     string(4) "file"
   }

OR:

   string(8) "file.ext"



Actual result:
--------------
string(3) "ext"
