I suggest that it is more helpful to provide users the whole truth instead of just a slice. The
truth is plain to see that INF became available as a constant in PHP4.3.6.

How about the comment says they're available for all versions of PHP 5+? Given that's all
the docs are supposed to cover now anyways.

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/math.constants
---
"All constants without a labeled PHP version above are available starting with PHP
4.0.0."
Except that INF is a constant that is only recognized by PHP4.3.6. Previous versions of PHP 4 do
not recognize the unlabeled constant.
Expected result:
----------------
I expected PHP4.0.0 to recognize the constant INF. It does not -- just perceives the string
"INF".
