Hello,
I would like to download the PHP source documentation and print it in the A4 format. I am glad that the documentation can be accessed with a browser but I simply HATE to read stuff on a screen. It hurts my precious eyes and I can't take notes with a pen, therefore I WANT to be able to generate the documentation in an other format than .html
I have been browsing on the site and I finally came to the conclusion that what I have to do is to download the documentation source from the CVS. Then come my problems and my questions:
- Why isn't is possible to simply download as a .tar.gz file, the directory which is at the origin of the .html files in http://www.php.net/download-docs.php ? This would save a lot of time to a lot of people...
- I need to access the CVS but I am behind a firewall... How do I do then? I found nowhere any information telling me how to do.
I can find in http://www.php.net/anoncvs.php:
cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository login
cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository checkout -r PHP_4_3_4 php-doc
But these command simply do not work behind a firewall... (Port 2401 closed). sourceforge.net offers the possibility to download the files via port 80. Is it possible here and then how to do?
cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:80/repository login
do not work...
Thanks in advance for any answer.
Daniel
