Bug description:Why isn't there an easy way to navigate to fgetc reference?

Description:
------------
Guys (and girls),

  I have used a lot of technical references, as an engineer and
attorney, and php.net is damn near impossible to navigate to find simple
function references. I have to google to get to printf, and once there,
there is no way to easily find a way to navigate to fgets or fgetc?
Really.

  Your "Function Reference" isn't a function reference, instead it is a
collection of extension and how to install them. Where is the simply
"File I/O". Why is printf buried under "Strings" -- it has absolutely
nothing to do with "strings" (other than being about to output one with
the %s format-specifier.

  This is a great opportunity for improvement. A simple function
reference for people looking to actually use real functions would
greatly help. 

Expected result:
----------------
Just a simply function index - it can even just be an alphabetical dump
of links to the functions. It would take a lot less time to scroll to
'f' than it currently does to play hide-and-go-seek across the php.net
site looking for fgetc hidden somewhere.
