Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62774&edit=1 ID: 62774 User updated by: aseleznyov at parallels dot com Reported by: aseleznyov at parallels dot com Summary: split is deprecated since 5.3, okay. what to use instead? suggestion missing. Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Yes, suggestion should be within the Big Red Box. Without it here, reader is forced to read through the whole description of already deprecated function, and this seems nonsense. Probably, just "Use preg_split()[link] or explode()[link] instead." at the end warning message. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-08-08 08:07:33] salathe@php.net I encourage you to keep reading the page. Further down, we have several notes suggesting to use the PCRE extension and in particular preg_split(). The page also mentions "the list of differences" (between POSIX and PCRE regex), which contains a table of suggested replacements for the POSIX regex functions. Is that enough to find the information that you're wanting, or are you really just trying to push for "hey, use preg_split()!" within the Big Red Box? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-08-08 07:22:51] aseleznyov at parallels dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.split#refsect1-function.split-description --- Test script: --------------- suggestion is missing, what to use instead of deprecated split() function. Expected result: ---------------- suggestion is added next to deprecation warning. Actual result: -------------- suggestion is missing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62774&edit=1
