Bug description:Wrong description of return values in German Documentation, bad doc in english
Description:
------------
---
From manual page:
http://www.php.net/function.microtime#refsect1-function.microtime-returnvalues
---
<?php echo microtime(); ?>
0.84538700 1371477251
Both values are returned as seconds when the function is called without
parameters. The 1st part are the decimal place, the 2nd part is the integer
part.
Contrary to current documentation:
".. ist und Mikrosekunden die Anzahl an Mikrosekunden ist, die seit
Sekunden vergangen sind."
If you follow the german documentation, the expected functions return
output would be 845387 1371477251, which isn't what microtime() returns.
So fix the german documentation please and rewrite the english part too,
because
"By default, microtime() returns a string in the form "msec sec", where sec
is the current time measured in the number of seconds since the Unix epoch
(0:00:00 January 1, 1970 GMT), and msec is the number of microseconds that
have elapsed since sec expressed in seconds. "
is misleading until the you <b>read the last 3 words carefully</b> in the
whole paragraph!
Test script:
---------------
<?php echo microtime(); ?>
