Doc #52306 [NEW]: finfo_file irritating method syntax

From: ch Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:finfo_file irritating method syntax Description: ------------ http://de3.php.net/manual/en/function.finfo-file.php currently reads: ---------------------------------------- Description string finfo_file ( resource $finfo , string $file_name = NULL [, int $options = FILEINFO_NONE [, resource $context = NULL ]] ) finfo string file ( string $file_name = NULL [, int $options = FILEINFO_NONE [, resource $context = NULL ]] ) ---------------------------------------- Where file is a hyperlink to the PHP file() function. It was not quite clear to me what this syntax description of a file() function was trying to tell me until I came across http://de3.php.net/manual/en/function.finfo-open.php which clearly describes the first as "procedural style" and the second as "object oriented style:". Maybe that can be done for the other functions, too.
