Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19277&edit=1 ID: 19277 Updated by: danbrown@php.net Reported by: pvo99 at gmx dot ch Summary: Shortcut to receive the latest PHP Version -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Website problem PHP Version: 4.2.3 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: danbrown Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: No discussion in nearly eleven years suggests that it's not a highly-desirable feature. Besides, with a small bit of coding, the latest version can always be obtained via automation if that's the goal. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-08 06:05:01] sander@php.net Don't know what's wrong about the idea of such a shortcut. We have more shortcuts to non-function pages, e.g. http://php.net/phpdochowto. Reopening. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-08 04:16:36] pvo99 at gmx dot ch And what about a .txt File placed on the Server, containing the Latest Version ? for example http://www.php.net/latestVersion.txt with the Content: 4.2.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-07 21:05:15] kalowsky@php.net No because this is the shortcut used for finding functions. Not a good practice to mix the two. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-07 08:18:56] pvo99 at gmx dot ch Is it eventually possible to add a shortcut which would display the latest php version in a very simple format, so that everyone can query this site with his own scripts and display the newest php version on his own website? The shortcut could be, for example http://php.net/latestVersion Kind Regards Phil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19277&edit=1
