RE: [PHP-DEV] CVS update: php3/functions

I dont think thats a good case though. There have been many instances where I've tried a function. Saw it doesn't do what the docs do and then just 'go with it'. We don't know how many scripts we will break doing this. I honestly think we are stuck with the version that is there. imho On Tue, 8 Jun 1999, Colin Viebrock wrote: > > > Well, now that you've changed the docs ...
