Already taken care of :) On a side note, at what point do we remove stuff from the manual/pecl, the weakref is extension is dead, can't work with current versions of PHP, and there was never a stable release ? I'm not even sure we have a mechanism to delete stuff from pecl ... there's probably quite a lot of junk on there ... Cheers Joe

The situation with PECL in the PHP manual has bothered me for a while. I don't know (maybe I could find out) the reasons for mixing PECL and bundled extensions together in one manual, but considering the confusion it can creates and the undue prominence it gives (obscure poorly-maintained PECL extensions get the same accessibility as strlen, which can make PHP look bad as it seems like stuff like runkit is part of the language…) I would be in favour of splitting the PECL extensions into their own manual, or doing what some other languages do and just let each extension have its own documentation to itself.
