Well, this is a good idea, thanks. I'll put this on the my php.net todo list ;) We sadly cannot mark parameters not available in the version someone uses for some reasons (they are not marked on this level in the docs), but we can mark functions which are not available, yes. Pleased don't expect this feature to pop up in a short time, we are working on another my php.net enhancement right now, you'll hear about it ;) > It would also be nice if manual pages could be added to a list of the > user's "favorites".

Well, my php.net is currently absolutely focused to be a system without authentication. As if we would like to have authentication, we need to have one place where the user system is, and that would highly distract the whole mirroring system. If the central user server would be down, it would do a great harm. So I don't think so we will let users set their favourites. Goba
