Yes, phpfunc updates daily and that is good (although it continues
to say last updated sept. 22). There are documented functions
listed as not documented but your last comment seems to decipher
why. Sorry to assume where those statistics are based although
this looks related as April 25 is close to April 17, which
is around when the big change happened.
The manual structure did substantially change at around April
17, 2002. Now the functions are in their own xml files, and
they all live in the reference/ directory. The old xml files
still exist but aren't updated anymore. So:
Old: en/functions/{extension}.xml
New: en/reference/{extension}/functions/{function}.xml
It sounds like this is where the problem lives. As a reference,
glob() was initially documented about six months ago and sha1()
about six days.
