#27944 [Asn]: features section has nothing on Sessions

ID: 27944 Updated by: goba@php.net Reported By: derick@php.net Status: Assigned Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: irrelevant PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: irchtml New Comment: Kenneth offered to move the session info from ref.session to features.session. The intention so far was to work the other way around (and provide compact and all-in-one reference sections). See the preg section for example. It contains info on preg formatting. Though regular expressions would be a possible feature section cadidate, we decided to keep the documentation for one extension in one place. This does not mean that pointers might not be added to the features section (short pages on regex extensions or session handling). But I am strongly opposed to the idea to move out stuff from the reference sections to the features section, since we have worked the other way around so far. There used to be an image generation section in the features part which we moved to the gd docs for example... [Kenneth, it is better to store comments in the bug system for future reference...] Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-10 13:00:46] derick@php.net Description: ------------ The features section (http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.php) in the Manual misses a short introduction/tutorial on sessions. It doesn't have to be covering everything, but the basic session_start() and use of $_SESSION[] would be a very good idea. (And of course points to more information in the manual about it). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27944&edit=1
