Re: Search for the documentation

go here : http://www.php.net/tips.php it will turn your browser into a search machine. or, get the toolbar thingee from google : http://services.google.com/navclient/welcome.html it is FAR superior then the windows find thing as it highlights words. the manual everyone is talking about is called "HTML Version" and can be found here : http://php.net/docs.php and there is *never* a time where google toolbar can't be used when windows find can, remember that! :-) although that's a different discussion. but just turn on highlight, enter the term and press term button and presto! will go to next term and all will be highlighted like magic. but in all reality, searching php.net is most useful as it searches user comments too, so : http://php.net/search.php you can even specify what to search. i like to search "the mailing list" as it is so useful, add a mailing list search too via instructions under that tips.php page, i have this : alias : ml url : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&r=1&w=2&q=b&s=%s that will make more sense after reading tips page. adding little search aliases to the browser is most useful. regards, philip olson http://www.cornado.com/ On Thu, 25 Jan 2001, Jamie wrote: > I'm one of those ppl who find it hard to sit and read documentation > especially manuals like the PHP one - presented HTML with no inbuilt search > functions.
