hey
yeah lxr.php.net *is* a good resource. I've used it a lot at first but although it's useful to find out about identifiers and all, it's not as useful when it comes to understand what's the use of one macro or function.
And since php source code doesn't have a lot of comments (behavior that should, by the way, be corrected, imho :) ) it often gets hairy to understand why the code breaks there.
But as Sean reported, lxr ain't really up to date. So it doesn't really help me now since i'm patching the 4.0.4pl1 version :)
Lxr should also have an option to set the version of php ya wanna check in (php 4.x, php 3.x, CVS ). Or at least should the indexed code be the last official release's . e.g php4.0.4pl1 these days). So even though lxr helps me in a way, i'm looking for something more extensive and explanatory.
I'll check the documentation on Zend.com. Maybe it has some stuff I haven't gone by yet. Thanks for the info.
And thanks for any further information on documentation.
