Bug #77637 [Opn]: Documentation for some functions on PHP.net not displaying

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77637&edit=1 ID: 77637 Updated by: salathe@php.net Reported by: peter dot v dot vasilev at gmail dot com Summary: Documentation for some functions on PHP.net not displaying Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Website problem Operating System: Ubuntu PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Just to provide some more details for context. The builds of the Bulgarian translation of the manual have not been done since 2010 [1]. Similarly, several other unmaintained translations are not built [2]. This is because the sources for those translations are not being kept up to date [3]. Due to the way the PHP manual is distributed to the php.net website mirror servers, the old versions of those translations were mistakenly still being published; mostly with the English language version of the pages where any translation did not occur. This resulted in the "translated" versions of the manual containing mostly English with some vastly out of date translated pages. Recently, the pushing of those inactive, out-of-date translations to the website mirrors was stopped. This results in the 404 Not Found reported in this bug report. The expectation is that Google will stop serving those pages in search results eventually; hopefully sooner rather than later. sinus+php at sinpi dot net's suggestion is great, and should be done as a good way of directing visitors hitting those pages to their English counterparts.

The English language page is available at http://php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php and several other languages are available, but not Bulgarian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-02-18 16:38:37] peter dot v dot vasilev at gmail dot com Description: ------------ When trying to open the documentation for some functions on PHP.net I get "Not Found" error this has been happening for about a week now.
