Doc #52524 [NEW]: the 5.3 migration documentation lacks some details

From: Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:the 5.3 migration documentation lacks some details Description: ------------ I've just started to read through the migration documentation, and I thought that wouldn't find anything that I'm unfamiliar with, but obviously I've just found. When I started to do my homework, I found out, that there are some changes, new features which aren't documented properly. 1, http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration53.new-features.php there should be a link or an example for the "Dynamic access to static methods is now possible." Something like this: <?php class foo{ public static $foo = 123; } $a = "foo"; echo $a::$foo; 2, "Exceptions can now be nested." I can nest exceptions with 5.2, so whats this about? 3, "The mail() function now supports logging of sent email. (Note: This only applies to email sent through this function.)" How? I couldn't find anything about this in the mail function's documentation. My best guess is the new mail.add_x_header ini directive. 4, "A garbage collector for circular references has been added, and is enabled by default." Could link to http://www.php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.zend.enable-gc OR http://php.net/manual/en/features.gc.collecting-cycles.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration53.ini.php 5, "A new directive, mail.add_x_header, has been added." should link to http://www.php.net/manual/en/mail.configuration.php#ini.mail.add-x-header 6, user_ini.filename and user_ini.cache_ttl should link to http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.per-user.php 7, exit_on_timeout - what is this? there are zero documentation about this. http://www.mail-archive.com/php-cvs@lists.php.net/msg33498.html I think thats all that I found. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52524&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52524&r=mysqlcfg
