Bug #14219 Updated: Various documentation suggestions

ID: 14219 Updated by: sander@php.net Reported By: axel@uni-paderborn.de Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: General PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: /usr/local/bin/php gets built automatically starting with 4.2.0 or 4.3.0. dblist() exists in the source, so I guess it works :) The following two suggestions remain: * the DBM function section should elaborate a bit on the internal flatfile database: does it use hashing? is the key or data size restricted? * the relationship between the DBM and DBA functions should be made clearer. When should one use which? Do the DBA functions do automatical locking like the DBM functions? The two should be cross linked at the very least. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-24 07:37:22] nohn@php.net * Fixed the libSWF-issue in CVS * Fixed the string-issue in CVS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-25 20:59:52] axel@uni-paderborn.de The PHP manual is of exceptional high quality and the following are mere suggestions, not real bugs: * the SWF function section should have a link to the Ming function section * the string function section should have a link to the regexp function section * It should be explained somewhere how one can produce a /usr/local/bin/php parser for use as an external cgi handler or as standalone script engine. If it is automatically generated by make, then it didn't turn up in my /usr/local/bin. * the DBM function section should elaborate a bit on the internal flatfile database: does it use hashing? is the key or data size restricted? * the dblist() function doesn't exist for me. I compiled with --with-gdbm. Typo? * the relationship between the DBM and DBA functions should be made clearer. When should one use which? Do the DBA functions do automatical locking like the DBM functions? The two should be cross linked at the very least. Thanks for a excellent product, Axel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14219&edit=1
