+ version of PHP, features marked with the "available in CVS" wording
+ are not accessible to you. Though these features will probably be

+ You may also encounter documentation for a PHP version which is
+ not released (something like PHP 4.3.0 as the latest stable version
+ is 4.2.3). Most of the time, this is not an error in the documentation.
+ Explanation is often added for features not available in the current
+ PHP release, but will be available in a known future PHP version.
