The PDF manual is now older than the current HTML manual at http://snaps.php.net/manual/en/manual-en-current.tar.gz. And it looks to me that a cron job cannot build the manual automatically. Someone has trashed the DocBook installation on va.php.net. The PDF manual have been indexed by Mike Robinson and is based on a PostScript version, which was build on Tuesday 23th May. You can verify this, if you look at the levenshtein() function. Hartmut Holzgraefe changed the name of that function and I made an update. Since Hartmut changed it in all places, Mike corrected this in the PDF manual. To build a PDF manual out of the XML source is very difficult and at the time impossible. There is one solution, but most of the links are missing. -Egon -- Grueninger Str. 6, 70599 Stuttgart http://php.net/manual/, http://php.net/books.php3 http://www.uni-hohenheim.de/~windband http://snaps.php.net/manual/, http://www.zend.com/
