From: BowlingAddict at gmail dot com Operating system: not applicable PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Confusing|Contradicting version requirements in Online Documentation Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/mysqli.begin-transaction --- Page header states requirements as: (PHP 5 >= 5.5.0, PHP 7) Page body states 'Begins a transaction. Requires MySQL 5.6 and above' Test script: --------------- N/A Expected result: ---------------- Assuming this is simply confusing, not contradicting. By that I mean I'm assuming that object-oriented approach requires version 5.5.0+ and the procedural approach requires version 5.6.0+ Would suggest if that is the case, you add parallel requirements verbiage in each section for clarity. If that is not the case, and version 5.6.0+ is required for both approaches, fix the requirement at the top of the document. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73519&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73519&r=mysqlcfg
