ID: 29936 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: jason at linenplace dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment:
So also http://www.php.net/manual/howto/chapter-what-to-document.html should be changed: "Only major functions should be documented; functions which are deprecated variants may be mentioned, but should not be documented as separate functions. They instead should be referenced in the parent function as an alias." Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-14 12:40:10] [EMAIL PROTECTED] They should be, as the documentation is for 4.0.0-4.3.8 and people looking for a function used in an application that they maintain should not be made harder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-14 11:40:25] [EMAIL PROTECTED] There's a note at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-query.php and there's a list of deprecated functions at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pgsql.php#AEN102913. Deprecated functions should not be listed in the function list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-01 21:36:28] jason at linenplace dot com Description: ------------ I just started working with php's postgres functions. I found out (after hours of frustration some of which is admittedly my fault) that there are depricated names for certain functions. For example, pg_exec was replaced with pg_query in php <= 4.2 All php programmers access the same function list. pg_exec is a valid function for many of us. It should be on the function list as long as the website provides support for versions < 4.2 Thank you very much for your consideration.
