From: simon dot sellick at tesco dot net Operating system: irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: 'deprecated' should not leave user hanging
Description: ------------ When a function or feature has been deprecated, it would be really useful consistently to offer next to the 'deprecated' notice the current approved solution. For example, I was searching for a way to ensure that PC 8-bit ASCII characters display as expected and searched for 'code+page'. I arrived at the manual page for a paradox extension (px_set_targetencoding) which is deprecated but offers no alternative (not that this is what I wanted, but it raised the issue). Thank you for maintaining an excellent product and documentation. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35880&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35880&r=mysqlcfg
