Re: Predefined Variables Section

Sounds good. If the move is made, leave the PHP variables on this page ($_POST), and have the web server variables list (REMOTE_ADDR) in the appendix. If feasible, an example call to phpinfo() on php.net might prove useful too. _maybe_. Consider integrating a few examples of popular server variables, such as REMOTE_ADDR and HTTP_USER_AGENT, when explaining $_SERVER. I'm leaving for four days now and will most likely miss this thread, good luck :) Regards, Philip Olson On Thu, 3 Jan 2002, Kenneth Schwartz wrote: > I've had a few thoughts on the predefined variables section of the > manual, most triggered by philip's bug report > [http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=14472]. > > IMHO, adding an appendix 'List of Predefined Variables', and removing > the actual lists from the entry in the manual would unclutter the documentation. > I think it would make the actual documentation easier to read and > maintain, i.e. adding the stuff that's in philip's bug report.
