I can send you a copy if you want. Furthermore, we do provide various formats of the manual so you can download it however you'd like, see: http://php.net/download-docs.php For the record, these PDFs will be available to download in the near future, but until then you can build them yourself quite easily - all you need is PHP5.2 and then run the following commands: $ pecl install haru $ pear channel-discover doc.php.net $ pear install doc.php.net/phd-beta $ cvs -d:pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net/repository login (the password is "phpfi") $ cvs -d:pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net/repository co phpdoc $ cd phpdoc $ php configure.php $ phd -f pdf -t phppdf -d .manual.xml Now open the newly created "pdf" folder :) If you'd like a big fat one PDF file then use "phpbigpdf" rather then "phppdf" -Hannes
