The default value (if this function is not called) is "SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY", which seems to be SNMP's built-in way of printing things.
From "snmp.c":
<code>
static PHP_GINIT_FUNCTION(snmp)
{
snmp_globals->valueretrieval = SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY;
}
</code>
A mild description of these is:
SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY: This is a string similar to:
"INTEGER: 42"
SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN: This is a string similar to:
"42"
SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT: This is a PHP object like:
object(
"type" => SNMP_INTEGER,
"value" => 42,
)
Here, "type" is one of the SNMP_* types that are listed under the "Predefined Constants" page. In addition, types 128, 129, and 130 are error conditions.

Possible values for this request from MIB:
Enum(integer): up (1), down (2), testing (3)

Results:
Default valueretrieval with snmp_set_quick_print(0)
snmp_get_valueretrieval = SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY,
retrieved value up(1)
SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY 0, retrieved value up(1)
SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN 1, retrieved value 1
Default valueretrieval snmp_set_quick_print(0)
SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY 0, retrieved value up
SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN 1, retrieved value 1

It appears that the possible method constants for this function are:
SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY
SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN
SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT
If you are harvesting data you probably want SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN.
