Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52306&edit=1 ID: 52306 Updated by: philip@php.net Reported by: ch@php.net -Summary: finfo_file irritating method syntax +Summary: finfo procedural/oop syntax Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N New Comment: Changing this bug. I no longer see the file() link but all of the finfo documentation should better explain the oop/procedural differences. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-11 15:41:48] ch@php.net 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.
