ID: 17795 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: caugustin at alcyonis dot fr -Status: Wont fix +Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: any PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment:
Should this be revisited? If we do this, we'll have to do it for every deprecated function in all of PHP >= 4.0.0. If done, we should do something like not show these aliases in the function lists/sidebar. Looks like I'm one reason this never happenend, not sure how that happened exactly. I think we discussed this once. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-21 02:34:44] [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's been a long time since this all happened, we sorta missed the boat :) Since it's been so long and search.php will indirectly redirect users to the proper places ... I think it's okay if we don't add all these aliases so am marking this as won't fix. Note that the old names still work although they are deprecated. They'll most likely work for quite awhile. In the future we need to handle this more gracefully. The same approach that's applied to extensions (deletions and moves->pecl) can be applied here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-05 05:22:02] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't see problems with listing old functions in the manual. (create xml files that point to new functions) I didn't create old function name xml files, since aliases aren't supposed to be documented. I'm not sure if it applies in this case. If everyone agrees, please feel free to add entries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-19 00:34:45] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This sounds reasonable. The current docs make it sound as if the aliases are going away very soon ... why? It's a recent change. In fact, old mysql aliases have been around since the 90's and afaik the mysql alias docs have only recently been removed. It makes sense to encourage a move but not to scare people. I vote +1 we create these alias entries because the move is so recent and will do so unless someone feels otherwise (then we can discuss it :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-17 05:47:26] caugustin at alcyonis dot fr I went to PostgreSQL documentation and didn't find most of the function I know. When you change a function name in the documentation, the old name have to be avaible and noted deprecated, not only removed. It is very important for how people see php in the professional world. It doesn't help us to promote it to our customers if such important things can change any time. Please re-introduce old function name. Cedric. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17795&edit=1
