Bug #76404 [NEW]: Why isn't there an easy way to navigate to fgetc reference?

From: drankinatty at suddenlinkmail dot com Operating system: SuSE Leap 42.3 PHP version: 7.2.6 Package: Website problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Why isn't there an easy way to navigate to fgetc reference? Description: ------------ Guys (and girls), I have used a lot of technical references, as an engineer and attorney, and php.net is damn near impossible to navigate to find simple function references. I have to google to get to printf, and once there, there is no way to easily find a way to navigate to fgets or fgetc? Really. Your "Function Reference" isn't a function reference, instead it is a collection of extension and how to install them. Where is the simply "File I/O". Why is printf buried under "Strings" -- it has absolutely nothing to do with "strings" (other than being about to output one with the %s format-specifier. This is a great opportunity for improvement. A simple function reference for people looking to actually use real functions would greatly help. Expected result: ---------------- Just a simply function index - it can even just be an alphabetical dump of links to the functions. It would take a lot less time to scroll to 'f' than it currently does to play hide-and-go-seek across the php.net site looking for fgetc hidden somewhere. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76404&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76404&r=mysqlcfg
