Re: read from .info files
I'm not sure just what information you need. First, if you aren't already familiar with it, you need to know how to read a text file, storing the lines into variables so you can work with them. If you are not already familiar with this, check the manual to learn how to use file(), fgets(), fopen(), fread(), fclose(), file_get_contents(), etc. Each of these PHP functions may be useful in reading the contents of a text file into an array or strings. When you have the contents of your .info file in an array, for example, you can use a loop structure to search for specific content that you are interested in, then process the content however you need to.
Use Google to quickly find specific information on whatever PHP function you are interested in. For example, to learn how to use the file() function, search Google for php file().

Just adding a little onto califdon's post...the PHP.net manual is great for learning about the functions too.
To search for a specific function, you can just visit http://www.php.net/functionname. For example, http://www.php.net/file will bring you to the manual page for the file() function.
