That is fine.

As to your question, I doubt that bitwise operators are used only by the most advanced PHP programmers.

So, it is an important concept to understand in order to be proficient at php. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

I don't think that bit wrangling could really be described as an 'obscure feature';

By obscure I meant "difficult to understand" I am sorry if I did not make myself clear. I think though that a short descriptive paragraph along with a few examples would sure be helpful. That much is done for other basic programming concepts (such as the "if" control structure).
