The PHP documentation has gone from very useful to hideously obstructive.
The people who are rearranging the doc into little, tiny chunks which are hyperlinked all over the
place obviously never write code.
I just spent 10 minutes trying to find the name of an IO Exception so I can use it in some code
I'm writing.
Old Doc: I would go to the index, click on Exceptions and then scroll down the page (or do a find on
IO) and there it would be. 10 seconds tops.
New Doc: Go to the index click on Predefined Exceptions
Click on Exception - find description of Exception Object - info not there
Back Button
Click on Error Exception - find description of Generic ErrorExeption object
Back Button
Click on SPL Exceptions (what the hell is this? - something new?)
Look at Table of contents: 13 Exception Categories - none of which
looks like an IOException
Click on Predefined Exceptions in the See Also -
Back to Previous Useless Page
First You completely screw up the Perl Regular Expression page by chopping it into tiny, obscure
chunks and now you destroy the exception documentation.
PLEASE put it back the way it was.
Or get somebody who actually uses this stuff like a handbook while writing code to fix it
Or shoot somebody.
Incredibly frustrated and thinking of rewriting everything in Python,
