Where oh where has the documentation gone?
« on: November 05, 2003, 10:43:30 PM »
For some unknown reason, the extending php4 section of the manual at php.net has been removed. Extening php3 remains, but four is kaput. phpfreaks.com still has it available, here http://phpfreaks.com/phpmanual/page/zend.html.

<Lateralus> phillip: Ping?
<Lateralus> anyone know why the extending php4 section of the manual was removed?
<Lateralus> mattmcc: do you know? :)
<mattmcc> Lateralus: I wasn\'t aware it was missing. :)
<mattmcc> Maybe it was too bit rotted.
<Lateralus> mattmcc: it is, it\'s crazy...
<Lateralus> mattmcc: extending php3 sits there, but 4 is gone :P
<mattmcc> Oh, good, because it\'s so important that we know how to extend PHP3 these days..
<Lateralus> mattmcc: indeed
<Lateralus> mattmcc: god knows where we would be without THAT documentation


If I get an answer as to why it was removed, I\'ll pass it along.

hmm, most suspect a broken doc build, I do not believe it was removed intentionally.  I\'ll send the mailing list a note :)

Hopefully we get to the bottom of this, as future upgrades of the manual on PHPfreaks may remove the last traces of our (much needed) PHP4 extension docs.                    
Black and white are all I see in my infancy.
