It's the PHP Manual in two volumes by Stig S[æ]ther Bakken, Zeev
Suraski, Egon Schmid. Publisher iUniverse.com Incorporated, Pub. Date:
November 2000.
This very old PDF manuals can be ordered via www.amazon.com or
www.bn.com.
But it is not true that the manual is under the GPL so that every
publisher can publish the PHP manual. This company graps every manual
they can find and publish it, if it have the GPL.
Does any from the authors of the PHP manual get paid by iUniverse?
The GPL was choosen by accident. It have been discussed already, that we
should switch ASAP to another more appropriate license.
