Excellent! It would be great if you could get this into the regular documentation. The Function Reference section looks like it's automatically generated, and the category grouping won't happen by magic, but I don't know enough about docbook to help on this. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-08 20:50:44] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Have a look at: http://php.net/extensions There was talk of having something like this in the index (as you propose) but I don't remember where we're at on that. How does it look to you? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-08 20:12:06] jimc at math dot ucla dot edu Description: ------------ This is a feature request: to organize the Function Reference section of the index page into categories. This actually refers to php-doc version 5.0.3 copyright date 2005-01-13, which is the version in my distro. With 137 categories in alphabetical order, it's very hard to even comprehend what's available, or to find something if you don't already know what it's called. I just spent an hour hand-editing the index page into an order that seems semi-sane to me: http://papyrus.math.ucla.edu/php-doc/index-jimc.html I don't know how this could be made to happen automatically with docbook, but don't the developers think that this page is a lot more useable than the original one? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39083&edit=1
