Comment:

 Not sure I understand, first the function attempts to use
 apache_get_modules (which was introduced in php 4.3.2), and if that
 function doesn't exist then it tries to check in phpinfo to see if it can
 find mod_rewrite in there, which if using mod_php with apache you should
 see that.

 So looking at phpinfo is the fall back.  From what I can tell, other than
 apache_get_modules, which is the first choice, there really isn't a better
 alternative for a fall back.

 I guess in the end it all stems back to the possibility that the php
 install was done in a way that it can not get that information from
 apache, usually this being fastcgi.

 Just not sure what else we could do.
