ID: 39942 Comment by: btherl at yahoo dot com dot au Reported By: moxley at moxleydata dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: n/a PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: If you search the online documentation for either "ini" or "parse" then you will find the function you are looking for. My understanding of function name search is that it is for when you know the name of the function already. I don't see this as a problem.

I hope that this one will be taken seriously, and if not, I'd like to know why) The "function list" search function at www.php.net (in the web site's header) gives me results that don't contain the expected, obvious result that I'm looking for. Here's one example. Let me know if you need more. I'm searching for a function in the PHP documentation. It parses an INI file. Now, let's see what happens when I do a function list search for the phrase 'ini': Instead of a function list, I get the page "Appendix G. php.ini directives", which doesn't have anything to do with functions or a function search. Next, I search for phrase 'parse': I get a list of functions, none of which are the correct function which is 'parse_ini_file()' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39942&edit=1
