Doc->Req #76547 [Opn->Sus]: Parameters in documentation dynamic search

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76547&edit=1 ID: 76547 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: david at frankieandshadow dot com Summary: Parameters in documentation dynamic search -Status: Open +Status: Suspended -Type: Documentation Problem +Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Documentation problem Operating System: NA PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Certainly not a bug – reclassifying. This information is stored in the localStorage of the browser, which is usually limited to a certain size, and we're already close to 5MB if the search indexes for two languages are stored. Since adding the parameter info might roughly double the amount of data, it doesn't seem to be feasible to add it for now. Suspending this ticket for the time being. I suggest to use an IDE/editor with support for signature help of built-in functions, anyway.
