Hi Jason!

I would think that you could have a drop down menu next to the text field for users searching the documentation which would have version numbers available. For the documentation page, you could simply add links for each version. In both cases, you could also have an "all versions" option which would display the documentation for php without filtering features to match a specific version number. I think it would make an already great language easier to work with if the documentation would be viewable in a version specific context.

You are not the first to suggest such a feature. We are not keen on maintaining different documentations for different versions, since that would make the translations a lot more difficult. A much more interesting idea is to filter content by the extensions you use. We have some long term plans on providing a tool which you can install on your own computer to personalize the manual the way you like.

erm.. I was about to reply that I was 100% for this feature :)) I was thinking about having some CVS tag.. but you're right, it will be a pain in the ass for translations.. but still it would have be cool =D Mehdi Achour
