Sorry for being unclear, Of course I wouldn't charge anything of PHP Manual. It's not my work, so I don't wouldn't charge of it any day, period.
I offered it for the demonstration purposes, for free, for anyone that is interested. With demonstration purposes I mean putting it somewhere publicly testable. The system itself is also made with PHP, so I guess it would demonstrate PHP a bit too. Though, Andrew Lindeman is probably correct, there is already a online manual viewable through a browser, so this wouldn't make much sense. I accept that. In any case, *if* there arises an interest for this, we can think about that again. Ilkka "Jesus M.
