ignore_files Contains an array of files to ignore. File names are case insensitive.
is_string Contains a boolean which says if the array values are strings or file names.
ignore_extensions Contains an array of php extensions to ignore when calculating the version needed.
ignore_versions Contains an array of php versions to ignore when calculating the version needed.
ignore_functions_match Contains an array of function patterns to ignore when calculating the version needed.

<?php
require_once 'PHP/CompatInfo.php';
$pci = new PHP_CompatInfo();
$input = array('/opt/lampp/etc/pear/PEAR.php',
               '/opt/lampp/etc/pear/PHP/CompatInfo.php');
$res = $pci->parseArray($input);

   We get such result.

As for parseDir() we have global result, follow by each $input entry result in details.
Either all $input entries are files, or all are string (chunk of php code). You cannot have both (one or more) string and (one or more) file reference.
