 New Comment:

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation
better.

Neither outputed nor outputted are correct according to the English
grammar rules, it should be called "put out". However, with the
popularity of the verb "to output" it seems to be showing up in
dictionaries as a correct english word, thus following grammar rules it
should indeed be written as "outputted".

I've modified all image-outputting function descriptions to match your
suggestion.

Description:
------------
On the documentation page for imagejpeg, it has the following
description for the $filename parameter:

--
filename

    The path to the saved file. If not set or NULL, the raw image
stream will be outputed directly.

    To skip this argument in order to provide the quality parameter,
use NULL. 
--

The sentence "The path to the saved file" sounds as if it is to load a
previously-saved image from that path, then display it. From
user-submitted notes it appears that it actually saves the image to that
file (which would make more sense). In which case it should say "The
path to save the file to" or something similar. "Saved" should not be in
the past tense.

(Also, my browser spell checker says that "outputed" should be spelt
"outputted".)
