Hi there, looking at the current - esp. for newbies sometimes confusing - manual, where several old info and even functions simply disappeared, but several exlanations and even whole chapters (like 'Migrating from PHP/FI 2 to PHP 3') for PHP 3 still exist, etc., one thought came into my mind: Why not take the chance of the intro of PHP 5 and branch the existing manual (still provide the last built version for download), take out all the php 3 chapters (and step by step the old info) to have a clean - structured - manaul explicitly for php 5 just with the differences to the last php 4 version? Thomas P.S. Other questions like this will follow, like: Since we aren't able to build a pdf-version due to a lack of resources: Why don't we make the FAQ an extra document (esp. for 'bundled' builds like chm, pdf, bightml, ... - I've never read a book where chap. 43 describes the same thing like chap. 3, just with a question as title ;)?
