#30756 [Opn]: Lack of useful documentation for PDF extension

ID: 30756 Updated by: sean@php.net Reported By: tim dot lokot at printsoft dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: N/A PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Hi Tim, The reason this extension (and others) have sparse documentation is that none of the (volunteer) documentation team members have had time/ambition to contribute to this section. The Documentation HOWTO is http://php.net/manual/howto/index.html, and the mailing list is phpdoc@lists.php.net. Feel free to contribute patches, and eventually get a CVS account, so you can make your own contributions, directly. S Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-11 09:32:08] vrana@php.net PDFlib documentation is available at http://www.pdflib.com/products/pdflib/download/#Documentation . I agree with you that there should be a link to it in the PHP documentation. I agree also that the PHP documentation should be updated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-11 00:32:06] tim dot lokot at printsoft dot com Description: ------------ This page is a prime example ... http://au.php.net/manual/en/function.pdf-place-image.php For example, I have no way of telling from this manual page what the scale parameter means, does, how to use it, how to calculate it, etc. Most of the manual pages for the PDF extension are as sparse (if not worse) than this. Google doesn't seem to return many useful results either, neither can I readily locate the documentation on the pdflib website. Can someone either update the documentation for this extension, or point the manual pages to where the documention for these functions can be found in more detail? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30756&edit=1
