"See Also" is the established way of conveying this information. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-08-08 08:28:40] aseleznyov at parallels dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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.
