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. -Egon -- SIX Offene Systeme GmbH · Stuttgart - Berlin Sielminger Straße 63 · D-70771 Leinfelden-Echterdingen Fon +49 711 9909164 · Fax +49 711 9909199 http://www.six.de
