Doc #66806 [NEW]: The word "parent" is used when "ancestor" would be more appropriate

From: jason dot judge at academe dot co dot uk Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:The word "parent" is used when "ancestor" would be more appropriate Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.is-a --- The term "parent" refers to an immediate ancestor in all cases that I have com across. Your grandfather and his grandmother are not your parents, and the calling ancestor classes "parents" is just as wrong IMO. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66806&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66806&r=mysqlcfg
