#36769 [Opn->Bgs]: Proposal: Categorization of Function Reference in PHP manual

So these would either need to go into a derogatory "Other" subchapter or remain as they are. It makes sense to group database, encryption, compression (and others) chapters into subchapters as there are many chapters for each of these topics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-17 10:57:45] woecherl at mlcomputing dot de Description: ------------ In the PHP manual, section "VI. Function Reference" meanwhile is quite a little long. I would like to suggest to introduce subchapters for function groups, like "database", "basic" (i.e. string, variable etc. functions) and so on. A similiar categorization is already on the bug reporting page in the search dialog, the "category". I know this might impose a little work on the guys who maintain the manual (and they are doing a great job!), but maybe they find this proposal useful and a little time to realize it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36769&edit=1
