From: jakob dot marberger at technoplast dot at Operating system: win xp PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: oo documentation not beginner friendly
Description: ------------ Hi all! I have tried to get into the new object and class thing of php5 and - the documentation doesnt really help. It is explained how things are, but not what they mean. example: visibility It states that visibility must be defined. But what is visibility? What is the effect of public or protected? Nothing of that kind in there. As it is, unless you know the stuff already (in which case you dont need the doku) you can work with it. If you dont (and therefore need the doku) you cant. Sorry for the bother, but I depend on this... Thanks, Jakob Reproduce code: --------------- // no code - documentation problem Expected result: ---------------- // none Actual result: -------------- // none -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33498&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33498&r=mysqlcfg
