PHP Extensions check

[evehne]

Adding private function before ProblemsPlugin.problemsChecker() :

private function safe_extension_loaded($aExtName)
{
if(!isset($this->__php_extensions)) $this->__php_extensions = get_loaded_extensions();
return extension_loaded($aExtName) || in_array($aExtName, $this->__php_extensions);
}

simplify and reduce the function ProblemsPlugin.problemsChecker() :
after //Check PHP version (...) $this->results['php'] (...)
before //Check for essential files & perms
replace all php extensions tests by :

/* BEGIN :: CHECK PHP EXTENSIONS */
$php_extensions = [
  [ 'n'=>'gd',        't'=>'GD (Image Manipulation Library)',           'l'=>$this->safe_extension_loaded('gd') ],
  [ 'n'=>'curl',      't'=>'cURL (Data Transfer Library)',              'l'=>$this->safe_extension_loaded('curl') ],
  [ 'n'=>'openssl',   't'=>'openSSL (Secure Socket Library)',           'l'=>$this->safe_extension_loaded('openssl') ],
  [ 'n'=>'xml',       't'=>'XML (eXtensible Markup Language Library)',  'l'=>$this->safe_extension_loaded('xml') ],
  [ 'n'=>'mbstring',  't'=>'MBString (Multibyte String Library)',       'l'=>$this->safe_extension_loaded('mbstring') ],
  [ 'n'=>'exif',      't'=>'Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)',     'l'=>$this->safe_extension_loaded('exif') || !$this->grav['config']->get('system.media.auto_metadata_exif') ],
  [ 'n'=>'zip',       't'=>'Zip (Data Compression Library)',            'l'=>$this->safe_extension_loaded('zip') ],
];
foreach( $php_extensions as  $e )
{
  $problems_found |= !$e['l'];
  $this->results[ $e['n'] ] = [ ($e['l']?'success':'error') => sprintf('PHP %s is %s', $e['t'], $e['l']?'installed':'not installed') ];
}
/* END :: CHECK PHP EXTENSIONS */

I’ll look to do something like this in 2.0
