Sorry If this has been bought up before. I was going through the man pages finding some stuff that needed documenting and came across this http://au3.php.net/manual/en/function.substr-compare.php
After some investigating found out that it only exists in php5.0b2, so my questions is how are we going around documenting php5 functions and there versions?
I don't think this was discussed before, but there was a post on internals@ talking about that :
http://news.php.net/article.php?group=php.internals&article=%3C5.1.0.14.2. 20031113192909.06aef8b0%40127.0.0.1%3E
I think that we should encourage internals to send us some (well|bad formated) docs and work on this topic.
Is it internals place to tell the docs team how to document? Kinda pointless if you ask me just a thought, if there has been no set standard about what to do, mabey this is the time? Flame at will
There is probably "not enough" overlap between the internals and documentation team... Some guys here can add documentation on most of the functions is proper prototypes are in the source code, and it is understandable what the function does. Otherwise it is common practice that an extension writer documents the functions he added, and the doc team refines it, fits it into the build system, adds interlinks, fixes errors, mispelling, adds missing functions, etc. This was the case for example lately with the tidy extension (or the mysqli extension).
