Yeah, that was my intention. For people who's primary use of php.net is the reference manual (like me) some of the language options are of little value and cumbersome; I'm not learning new spoken/written languages very often. Perhaps a special domain, http://ref.php.net could be implemented for just such visitors?

So this needs to be thought out. Yes, regardless, I'm going to play around with a couple options for docs.php. I checked out phpweb/ HEAD from CVS (about 10 minutes ago) and have it happily running as a mirror (http://php.newyorkphp.net:8080/) but can't seem to locate any of the manuals. phpweb/manual/*langcode*/ are all empty, and en/ doesn't exist at all. What am I missing? Thanks, ===== Hans Zaunere President, New York PHP http://nyphp.org hans@nyphp.org
