Howdy, all!
I've been working hard on a PHP script to automatically spider and parse
Palm API headers. So far it's working out great, but I wanted to ask what
everyone else would like to see. Currently the script outputs a complete
EditPlus 2 (www.editplus.com, shameless plug ;) syntax file... which happens
to need a little clean-up before being usable, but in the end works quite
well. What would you want to easily rip out of the headers? (I'm going to
write a version of this that takes all of the error codes, dumps them into a
MySQL table, then allows you to search them, add comments, etc. It'll even
relate functions to errors... in the end, I hope to have a complete online
manual similar to PHP's, for the Palm.)
The current output can be seen here:

Also note that this script requires a browser with support for DHTML, as it
does a LOT of trickery to insert values at the beginning that can only be
calculated in the end... it also is an example of how to add
dynamic-progress information into a script. But that'll be going into the
PHP manual... ;)
Enjoy,
