#47839 [NEW]: upgrade notes need to indicate that gethostname function has been added

From: trichins at omniture dot com Operating system: linux PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: upgrade notes need to indicate that gethostname function has been added Description: ------------ We have defined gethostname in our code and running it against php5.3 fails with an error message saying that it is already defined. Nothing in the upgrade documentation indicates this new function and it doesn't have its own documentation on the php.net site. I finally found out the issue by searching the internals email list. So, I doubt it will get pulled, but documentation to indicate that it is a new function would be nice. As well as any new functions like this. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo gethostname(); -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47839&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47839&r=mysqlcfg
