If you check out the phpdoc tree from CVS you will find a handy little
script called genfuncsummary. If you also have both the php3 and php4
trees checked out you can do:
./genfuncsummary ../php3
./genfuncsummary ../php4
This wil give you a complete list of all functions in first php3 and then
in php4 complete with a prototype and a one-line description of the
function.
