So the manual page would have ctype_alpha as the main function, isalpha as IEEE complied alias. BTW, I'm going to get rid of aliased/deprecated function listing. So aliases and deprecated functions will not be listed, but only searchable. For example, http://php.net/manual/en/book.ctype.php will not be changed. http://php.net/manual/en/book.classobj.php will not list deprecated call_user_method_array and call_user_method (or listed separately) Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohgaki@ohgaki.net
