Re: Remove Classes and Objects (PHP 4)

Hello all, If adding a separate PHP 4 document (like PHP 3 has) feels like a wasted effort due to limited human resources (I agree), then an alternative solution might be necessary. Maciej added the following on Aug 17, 2014: http://php.net/manual/php4.php Which points to the old doc snapshots, and migration guide: http://php.net/manual/en/migration5.php That might be enough but in certain places that PHP 4->5 migration guide assumes the online documentation contains PHP 4 information so it lacks details. For example, regarding the PHP 4 OOP topic: http://php.net/manual/en/migration5.oop.php Not much there. So, two ideas: 1. Make the PHP 4->5 migration guide the PHP 4 manual This means updating the guide to include relevant PHP 4 related information. In this case, it would mean adding details about how PHP 5 changed OOP. It does not mean throwing all PHP 4 docs into the migration guide. 2. Add "See Also" for the biggest changes This idea is less thought out and potentially overkill. But some sections in the documentation might point to the PHP 4 migration guide if something major changed. I can’t think of a good example so maybe this point should be ignored :) Just a random thought/idea, maybe a TODO folks can attack at their leisure. I just fear living in the php.net bubble might not take into account all the users out their maintaining old code.
