#39100 [NEW]: Preventing duplicate documentation

From: ewilde at gntrains dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Preventing duplicate documentation Description: ------------ I added a note to one of the documentation pages and then went on about my business. The next day, I accidentally hit the back button in Mr. Browser and ended up at the add page again. So, a second copy of the note got added to the docs. Might I suggest, that you run a checksum against submissions by users and compare them with existing notes in your documentation. If the note is from the same user and its checksum is identical, its a good bet its an instant replay, not something new. MD5, for example has a pretty small chance of a collision. This would reduce the junk in the docs and/or eliminate the need for a human to scrutinize the docs carefully for duplicates. Also, I looked around for a way for me to delete the duplicate but I didn't see one. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39100&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39100&r=mysqlcfg
