Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-07 06:58:26] goba@php.net See the index page and the TOC, functions are grouped by extension as usual... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-06 12:35:42] xilord@yahoo.com Sorry ... thought I'd included the version ... it's the CHM Windows Help formatted version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-06 12:31:55] hholzgra@php.net which manual version/file-format are you talking about? HTML, HTMP-for-print, PostScript, PDF, CHM ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-06 11:43:46] xilord@yahoo.com 08-04-02 not 08-04-03 =) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-06 11:41:54] xilord@yahoo.com 08-04-03: I've downloaded the new manual format today and must say I'm very surprised. Alphabetical function list is great, but where's the old Language Reference? Would be nice to have functions grouped by class/reference rather than have them all listed alphabetically. I'm pretty familiar with most PHP functions, however, I've not yet memorized the entire language reference. Having functions/methods/etc grouped by functionality (ie Images, Flash, etc) makes it much more simple to lookup functions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18756&edit=1
