What is this site?

There are different documentation

teams operating somewhat independently on PHP.net subprojects. Only a

few people are involved in more than one documentation project currently,

and that limits the know-how sharing, which would otherwise be possible and

desirable. All of the documentation teams use an early fork of the original

PHP manual build system. These systems evolved independently, and took over

some improvements from the others on an occasional basis (the PEAR

documentation team uses a variant of the revcheck developed for phpdoc for

example). This site is aimed at getting documentation efforts closer, and

provide more tools and information for manual authors and translators.

Join Us!

The developers of PHP extensions all

have access to the PHP documentation modules, although the different projects

have different policies of accepting contributions. You are welcome to join

our efforts! Authoring documentation for an extension is the second best thing

to implementing the extension itself if you are interested in the

capabilities, features and usage possibilities even in extreme conditions. We

also have translated versions of the different manuals, and most of the

translation teams are always in need of more helping hands. In case you are

interested, you should contact the relevant mailing lists. The projects and

translations have separate mailing lists.

Latest News!

On March 2014 site was almost totally rebuilded. Now it uses same design as

new php.net pages. Many of tools and features has been removed, because they weren't used.

If you think that site is lacking some of them, please contact us on php.webmaster

mailing list.
