Where is the example? Contrast this with the following: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php ...and: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-error.php PHP as a language is only as popular as it is because it has very well-written, user-supported (and user-supplemented) documentation. Have you programmed in Ruby lately? I appreciate the documentation that is out there, but I feel it is obvious that PEAR needs to encourage more user contribution to documentation, like the standard PHP documentation does. --Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=494&edit=1
