Doc #52638 [NEW]: Misleading parameter name for http_build_query

From: Operating system: n/a PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Misleading parameter name for http_build_query Description: ------------ The documentation for 'http_build_query' ( http://php.net/manual/en/function.http-build-query.php ) lists the first parameter as '$formdata'. Most uses of http_build_query don't involve forms or formdata, which makes the parameter-name misleading. People scanning the documentation may ignore this function, thinking that it only applies to forms (I know I've skipped past it many a time!) Renaming the parameter '$paramaters' or '$query_params' will help users understand the use of this function.
