PHP Documentation update
Note: This article was originally published at PHP.net news & announcements
on 25 June 2011.
PHP has several new documentation features that the community should be aware of:
- pman - PHP man pages
- $ pear install doc.php.net/pman
- $ pman strlen (this example displays a local textual version of the strlen docs)
- Enhanced CHM - contains user notes (over 25,000)
- This additional CHM file is downloadable
- Online Documentation Editor - allows everyone to edit the PHP manual
- URL: https://edit.php.net/
- Every manual page will link to it in the future
- Includes an IRC window to the #php.doc channel, so let's talk
We hope you find the above features useful, and please write phpdoc@lists.php.net with feedback. Additional features are being refined, which includes a JSON version of the manual.
