Bug #63674 [Com]: PHP.net Website Problem

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63674&edit=1 ID: 63674 Comment by: tamlay dot 3 at cavu-software dot com Reported by: samhill5215 at yahoo dot com Summary: PHP.net Website Problem Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The new beta has changed how the search. It is nice to get a list of functions to choose from. However, if you are searching by topic you simply get returned to the page telling you about the new auto-complete. Even if you select documentation instead of functions. Type in 'function parameters' and you will simply get the auto-complete notice again. The auto-complete notice page says you turn this off by going to MyPhp and setting the preferences. But when I set beta to disabled it doesn't change the behavior. Searches I was doing on php.net yesterday I have to do on google today. Thanks, -Tom Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-03 13:23:38] samhill5215 at yahoo dot com I tried the php.net settings because of the trouble I was having with the search. That page has a link to the settings and a message about turning the autocomplete function. As for the beta page, the documentation link takes me to the same search page that's been giving me trouble. Maybe I'm missing something. I use the website for function reference. I start out at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ which takes me to the PHP Manual page. From there I'll use the search box to lookup a function. For now, as a workaround, I've been using the quickref.php page but I prefer the search page because of its added functionality. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-03 12:59:36] bjori@php.net When did it stop saving your my php.net settings? I don't remember any changes to that for years and years. Also, as for the search; You may want to try the beta mode of the site as it has much better autocomplete: http://php.net/?beta=1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-03 11:00:20] samhill5215 at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ Two issues: First, setting parameters in my php.net doesn't work, nothing gets saved. Second, the autocomplete feature in http://php.net/search.php is frustrating. Previously I could type a function name from any documentation page in the search box and go straight to it. Now I'm always taken to http://php.net/search.php where I have to type the function name again. Hitting return doesn't work, I'm just taken right back to the same page. I have to use the mouse to click on one of the suggestions from the generated list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63674&edit=1
