Just to defend phpdoc a bit, this statistic is based on a php manual generated on April 25, 2002, which is when zend.com/manual/ was last updated. Also, missing functions are almost all from experimental and/or cvs only functions. Sure your point is still valid (php-dev would rather code than document) but the numbers are a little misleading... and that's why such a great phpdoc team exists :) Regards, Philip -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
