From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Mac OS X PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: MacOS X documentation update
Description: ------------ The Mac OS X install section of the manual is outdated. Some considerations: 1. Precompiled packages It appears darwinports is the most up-to-date resource for this, with fink being another common resource. entropy.ch offers a popular build with excellent information too but using a popular command such as 'port' seems more documentation worthy. We could link to all three with emphasis on darwinports. Also, these docs should never link to a specific file as they do currently (libphp4.so.gz), these docs should be generic in nature. 2. Compiling it The documentation should provide information for users wanting to compile PHP themselves as currently this information does not exist within the 'MacOS X Client' docs. There are some user comments that look helpful for this, and if needed we could also ask a few "mac experts" out there for helpful tips/info for making this process work, and mention common problems that could come about. 3. The "provided by Marc Liyanage" can be removed, we do not write author information in the manual. Whoever updates these docs will be rewriting them anyways... -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37473&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37473&r=mysqlcfg
