#30115 [Opn->WFx]: The wrong link is shown for __destruct() when using phpmanual

ID: 30115 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: richard dot quadling at bandvulc dot co dot uk -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: n/a PHP Version: all New Comment: Perhaps the PHP developers can also fix the code for the people? If "destruct" is generated as link, then the doc system should handle it. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-20 22:32:47] goba@php.net Special methods need special handling. I guess PHP developers would not like the docs to have the __destruct() function(!) documented with a dumb page, so the error reporting code should be able to detect if it is about a special OO function, and should direct to the right doc page IMHO. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-20 18:50:25] nlopess@php.net The problem is that we don't have a function ID for the __destruct() method (and won't have this). PHP will generate valid links for almost every function, but it won't work for OOP methods, as they are documented in a different place (language reference chapter). As PHP can't imagine where every single function is documented, this won't be fixed (any other php member speak if is against!). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-20 09:10:21] richard dot quadling at bandvulc dot co dot uk What criteria is used to ID a bug report as bogus? I said "Documentation problem". You say it IS documented, but not with regards to the phpmanual facility activated within PHP.INI? I'm using the latest HTML manuals available (28-8-2004). There is no page called function.--destuct.html in the archive available from www.php.net. I do not see how this is bogus?

My code failed showing ... Warning: FormMaint::__destruct() [function.--destruct.html]: message: Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'kpi_element_types' with unique index 'IX_element_types_ElementTypeExecutionSequence'. (severity 14) in C:\WebSites\PHP\Includes\class_FormMaint.inc on line 239 The important bit is [function.--destruct.html] which points to url ... http://dev.kpi.bandvulc/phpmanual/function.--destruct.html which doesn't exist. Reproduce code: --------------- Generating the error was VERY hard work (i.e. 1 line in the wrong place), but is not relevant to the problem. The problem is that there is no documentation for function.--desctruct.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30115&edit=1
