Bug description:Incorrect example provided for geoip-db-avail
Description:
------------
The example provided on the following page is incorrect:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.geoip-db-avail.php
Example #1 A geoip_db_avail() example
This will output the current database version string.
<?php
if (geoip_db_avail(GEOIP_COUNTRY_EDITION))
print geoip_database_info(GEOIP_COUNTRY_EDITION);
?>
The above example will output:
GEO-106FREE 20080801 Build 1 Copyright (c) 2006 MaxMind LLC All Rights
Reserved
The incorrect function (geoip_database_info rather than geoip_db_avail)is
being used in the print statement which means the output displayed is
incorrect for the function being described. It should be a bool.
Expected result:
----------------
Example #1 A geoip_db_avail() example
This will output the current database version string.
<?php
if (geoip_db_avail(GEOIP_COUNTRY_EDITION))
print geoip_db_avail(GEOIP_COUNTRY_EDITION);
?>
The above example will output:
True
