Hi! As all you know, we have php.net shortcuts for manual pages, so php.net/exit go to the exit() function page, etc.
As one of the php.net webmasters I realized, that we also give php.net webpage addresses so often to people like php.net/downloads.php, php.net/links.php or php.net/support.php. This is why I made this a part of the shortcut system, so access to pages withouht the PHP extensions is available now. Try: http://php.net/support or http://php.net/links for examples. This access is higher priority than functions, but AFAIK we have no pages named the same any function, so this would not be a problem. This improvement would also help php-general support people to be able to type less while giving answers to questions. One more thing came into our mind is to introduce a shortcut table for often tried shortcuts, like php.net/ini php.net/windows php.net/install While the last one seems obvious to work, actually only php.net/installation works. This would be only simple translation table for keyword to keywords, so it should work for any language manual: $CUSTOM_SHORTCUTS = array ( 'ini' => 'configuration', 'windows' => 'install.windows', 'install' => 'installation' ... ); By using this shortcut list ("short shortcut" to "long shortcut"), language preferences wont lose their effects, so hu.php.net/ini will bring up the Hungarian ini page. I am waiting for suggestions about what shortcuts would be useful, and I'll add all these to the shortcut handling code. All these changes are to make support people's life (typing requirements) easier, and to let people find pages with some common shortcuts not used in the manual, nor as manual page ids.
