#26334 [Ana]: global and static keywords

ID: 26334 Updated by: goba@php.net Reported By: christian at freemails dot at Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Erm, the URL shortcuts and the PHP function list search only find nodes having a file named after the name of the keyword/function/control structure, etc. So modifying the ID would not be enough. As sect2s are not put onto their own pages, these need to be sect1s to get recognized by any of the quicref tools we have. Also 'variables.scope.' is not a searched prefix, thought it can be added if need be. But still only file names are searched for, so if the file name does not contain the searched keyword, it will not be found. Since the documentation is not reindexed to make these keywords be more easy to find, the current solution is for speed reasons.

There is a global keyword. It is like return or continue. It is not a function. Some keywords are accessible with URL shortcuts. It might be a good idea to let global be accessed this way. Note to the doc guys: possible to fix this by using id="language.keyword.global" and id="language.keyword.static" in the XML files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-20 11:40:51] christian at freemails dot at Description: ------------ www.php.net/global does not work. But a global-function exists in PHP. example of the global function: function foobar() {global $foo; /* this makes $foo aviable here */} ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26334&edit=1
