Ok, the "Extension Categorization" is about what I meant. Since it is not too obvious in the manual's huge main index I would like to suggest to set a link with text e.g. "(for categorized list see Appendix I.)" below the entry "Function Reference". Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-17 13:03:50] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/extensions.php . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-17 11:39:44] RQuadling at GMail dot COM This is a good idea, but not all the current chapters will be able to be grouped. id3, image and math are just 3 chapters which have no counterparts. So these would either need to go into a derogatory "Other" subchapter or remain as they are. It makes sense to group database, encryption, compression (and others) chapters into subchapters as there are many chapters for each of these topics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-17 10:57:45] woecherl at mlcomputing dot de Description: ------------ In the PHP manual, section "VI. Function Reference" meanwhile is quite a little long. I would like to suggest to introduce subchapters for function groups, like "database", "basic" (i.e. string, variable etc. functions) and so on. A similiar categorization is already on the bug reporting page in the search dialog, the "category". I know this might impose a little work on the guys who maintain the manual (and they are doing a great job!), but maybe they find this proposal useful and a little time to realize it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36769&edit=1
