I'm looking for a possiblity to generate a custom function reference to be used phpeclipse's context help from the php manual.
I stumbled over the file funcsummary.txt containing all functions including the return type, arguments and the description which is exactly what I need.
I just noticed that it contains not only the build-in php functions but also some other stuff about objects like Reflection_Class and Reflection_Method and later some other weird looking stuff:
# php-src/ext/dom/documenttype.c entities namednodemap
Does it make sense to use that file for what I want? What exactly does that file contain beside the built-in functions? Is this file always up to date or do I need to regenerate it by myself?
It would be a bad idea to create a function list to reference pages in the manual, since there are a lot of functions not (yet) documented, but listed in the funcsummary file. I would suggest you look into the XSLT sheet published by the PHPEdit guys, which generates a reference list in XML format out of the PHP manual.
ps: please cc me, I'm not on the list
Please keep on using 'reply all', so everyone will be able to read your comments.
