ID: 39083 Updated by: philip@php.net Reported By: jimc at math dot ucla dot edu -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux (SuSE 10.1) PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Have a look at: http://php.net/extensions There was talk of having something like this in the index (as you propose) but I don't remember where we're at on that. How does it look to you?

This actually refers to php-doc version 5.0.3 copyright date 2005-01-13, which is the version in my distro. With 137 categories in alphabetical order, it's very hard to even comprehend what's available, or to find something if you don't already know what it's called. I just spent an hour hand-editing the index page into an order that seems semi-sane to me: http://papyrus.math.ucla.edu/php-doc/index-jimc.html I don't know how this could be made to happen automatically with docbook, but don't the developers think that this page is a lot more useable than the original one? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39083&edit=1
