Please see: http://cvs.php.net/co.php/phpdoc/howto/howto.html.tar.gz Download this, unzip it, and you'll find all what you asked. > Maybe you can also add this information to php.net/manual/en ? Nope, it is a user manual (with some parts for developers), and not a howto for manual writing. It is getting quite big enough without this. 99% of the downloaders are not interested in how to write PHP documentation... Goba
