PHP Manual still broken

Stinger51

I was ready to report this web site bug below to :

http://bugs.php.net/search.php

when I noticed they told another user that this is not their problem, to direct the issue to phpbuilder.com.

Here is my original bug report :

"This is not a PHP problem. (I am using 4.3.6.) This is an issue with your web page : http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/

I can no longer search for anything on this page. For example, if I enter "date" in the "search for" text box and click on "function list" in the adjacent list box, I get an error : 404 - file not found. It doesn't matter what function I search for, or whether I choose function, or the whole site. Same result. This has been an on going problem for me for about 3 months now.

However, if I enter the URL in the my browser's address bar as :

http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/function.date.php

The page displays properly. I have no idea of why the search always fails now.

Thank you for any assistance you can supply."

I also saw some other complaints about this same issue, but nothing was resolved.

Ok guys, what's up with the online manual these days? It ain't much good if you can't even search it for function definitions. Nothing is wrong with my web browser, firewall or O/S either. I get the same results on my laptop, which is running Win XP.

Which manual? The one on the PHP site or the one on PHPBuilder? Cos you shouldn't be submitting a bug report on the PHP for something thats nothing to do with them.

No, as I said, I almost sent this bug report to the wrong place. That's pretty easy to do it you aren't careful there, as they lead you in that direction.

I didn't know the other PHP site had an on-line manual. I'll check it out, since the PHP Builder manual is still broken.

Thanks for the tip.

Didn't know that the official home site for PHP didn't have a copy of the PHP manual (which is the one that all the other sites, including Zend and this one, copy)? That's a new one on me.

I found this over there :

http://www.php.net/docs.php

That manual, so far, seems to be everything that the one here (on PHP Builder) is. Not sure why the needless duplication, or am I seeing double? Perhaps PHP Builder should just link us all to that one?
