ID: 28019 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: wimroffel at planet dot nl Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment:
We used to list all the languages with links, but it is not possible anymore with this long list of languages. The My PHP.net page also lets you specify a favourite mirror. The www.php.net site itself cannot be a favourite, since the whole redirection is built to protect the php.net server from being too slow, overwhelmed with traffic. As far as I know, a lot of sites have the same "My example.com" page to set your preferences... It is very much common... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-16 04:41:37] wimroffel at planet dot nl The pulldown menu with the language version was standing for me at "printer friendly". It is not a logical thing to expect that you will find under that drop down box the possibility to change the language. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-16 04:03:29] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The redirection to the mirrors is *necessary*, you can change the language yourself by: 1. selecting it from the drop down box which exists on EVERY manual page. 2. go to nl2.php.net/my.php and select the language you want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-16 04:00:15] wimroffel at planet dot nl Description: ------------ When I go to the page www.php.net/pcre I automatically end on the page nl2.php.net/pcre or another dutch mirror. There is no way to switch this off and there is no link on the dutch page to get the english page. I find this really very annoying. It is nice when a computer does some thinking for you, but this is Big Brother watching you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28019&edit=1
