Re: [PHP] Search for the documentation
(BC == "Brian Clark") [EMAIL PROTECTED] betokened:
BC I'm using Beta 2.10a (I'm in the Beta program), but I'm not
BC completely sure when this new feature was added (some where
BC between 2.00 and 2.10a):
BC If you go into settings and syntax for PHP in Preferences, I see a
BC 'function pattern' text field which has:
BC ^[ \t\s]*function[ \t\s].*\([^;]*$
BC And I'm now guessing that's why $(CurWord) is smart enough to
BC "figure it out" :-)
No, that's not right either. That shouldn't have anything to do with
it. Because it still works with something like:
$GLOBALS['|HTTP_HOST'] for HTTP_HOST and $|GLOBALS['HTTP_HOST'] for
the word globals.
Where | is the cursor.
Ahh! It's because of the new (?) 'Word Delimiters' field in Prefs -
General where you have: ,.?!;:/(){}[]"'
Spiffy.

Re: [PHP] Search for the documentation
The online manual is searchable. Hence the big "Search" button. But if you don't like that and prefer a Windows-like searchable thing, well then just download that. It is listed right there on: http://www.php.net/docs.php -Rasmus On Thu, 25 Jan 2001, Jamie wrote: I'm one of those ppl who find it hard to sit and read documentation especially manuals like the PHP one - presented HTML with no inbuilt search functions.

Re: [PHP] Search for the documentation

Re: [PHP] Search for the documentation
go here : http://www.php.net/tips.php it will turn your browser into a search machine. or, get the toolbar thingee from google : http://services.google.com/navclient/welcome.html it is FAR superior then the windows find thing as it highlights words. the manual everyone is talking about is called "HTML Version" and can be found here : http://php.net/docs.php and there is *never* a time where google toolbar can't be used when windows find can, remember that! :-) although that's a different discussion. but just turn on highlight, enter the term and press term button and presto! will go to next term and all will be highlighted like magic. but in all reality, searching php.net is most useful as it searches user comments too, so : http://php.net/search.php you can even specify what to search. i like to search "the mailing list" as it is so useful, add a mailing list search too via instructions under that tips.php page, i have this : alias : ml url : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-generalr=1w=2q=bs=%s that will make more sense after reading tips page. adding little search aliases to the browser is most useful. regards, philip olson http://www.cornado.com/ On Thu, 25 Jan 2001, Jamie wrote: I'm one of those ppl who find it hard to sit and read documentation especially manuals like the PHP one - presented HTML with no inbuilt search functions.
