Hi, I've updated function name that has been changed for PHP 4.2.0. I need to know how to set appropriate version info to ref? I need to show pg_affected_rows (PHP3, PHP 4.0.0) instead of pg_affected_rows (PHP 4 CVS only)
the availability information is created by checking out *all* previous releases from CVS and parsing the source code the function isn't known under its current name in previous versions, so the output is absolutely correct, and no, you *don't* want to change it we might talk about adding stuff like pg_affected_rows (PHP 4 CVS only, known as pg_cmdtuples in PHP3, PHP 4.0.0 - 4.1.2) when i finally rewrite the function table generator that also generates the version files for the manual, but printing pg_affected_rows (PHP3, PHP 4.0.0) would be a ly, so no way this will ever happen
That's fine. I save a little time. MySQL functions have also renamed recently. They have fake version as you mentioned, I suppose. So there should be is inconsistency. I don't mind this inconsistency much, though. We need to some poilcy, since I'm going to rename remaining functions that do not confirm current naming standard sometime before 4.3.0. I hope I don't have to care about version, but php_version (PHP 4 CVS only) does not look good to me...

If this is possible, it would be great. -- Yasuo Ohgaki
