For a beginner thats a hurdle enough. You are probably too familiar with it to notice this. Result: ,---- | phd -d doc-base/.manual.xml -o output_dir -f php -P PHP `---- falls over. Fortunately that was correctly documented elsewhere and was pointed out to me in the php.docs list you recommended. https://doc.php.net/phd/docs/ : installation via pear. Also, I *think*, the instructions there are in addition to mirroring since the mirroring line doesnt include the manual subdir : so both sets are required and you symbolically link to your phpdoc configuration (or so it seems from the instructions). IMO, and with the benefit of being totally new to this and trying to use the docs, It's not clear from the pages if this phpdoc config is in addition to or superceded by the mirroring rsync line. cheers r.
