#36659 [Bgs->Csd]: Slightly confusing setup of manual links (in the error messages)

ID: 36659 User updated by: daniel at softel dot jp Reported By: daniel at softel dot jp -Status: Bogus +Status: Closed Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: NA PHP Version: 5.1.2 New Comment: Closed by submitter. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-13 08:29:51] tony2001@php.net It looks quite clear that to make docu links working you need the documentation itself. And I don't see why it's so difficult to put the docs somewhere and change "phpmanual" to the real path. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-13 06:43:41] daniel at softel dot jp Let me clarify, Downloading and expanding the "Many HTML files (tar.gz)" documentation tarball results in a folder called "html". However, the default "manual document root" in php.ini is "phpmanual". This is confusing. Also it isn't stated anywhere that for the documentation links in the error messages, the "Many HTML files" version of the documentation must be installed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-13 03:03:10] takagi@php.net I think he is talking about "Many HTML files (tar.gz)" version of the manual which is found at http://www.php.net/download-docs.php When we download "php_manual_xx.tar.gz" and expand it, we can see "html" directory there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-12 16:24:22] tony2001@php.net I don't see any "html" folder neither in php sources tarball, nor in win32 zip archive. What are you talking about and what do you think should be default path for something that could not exist on user computer at all? And bear in mind that there is no standard path for local PHP documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-12 16:18:28] takagi@php.net Recalssifying as a configuration issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
