Yes, that too. :)
I have bookmarked http://www.php.net/manual/en/. Until
recently, that
page displayed a very detailed table of contents which included the
major subsections within each chapter. For example, under "Language
Reference", there was a list of direct links to "Basic Syntax", "Types",
"Variables", etc. (the first-level bullet points found at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/langref.php)
I very much miss the left nav as well. The chapter-level TOC is fine
for the most part (providing the detailed TOC is still available
*somewhere*). I would like to see the chapter currently being viewed
expanded there. For example, the alphabetical extension listing would
only show up if I were looking at the "Function Reference" chapter.
Perhaps create an expandable tree view there, such that the user could
drill down into details as they wished?

Please be more specific with what you mean. Do you mean you miss having
every extension listed alphabetically in the left sidebar?
