The term is "backward compatibility" or "backwards compatibility": Google Hits phpdoc grep back: 71,100 1* backward: 1,130,000 7 backwards: 1,160,000 8 * Your entry. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-25 10:50:23] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't feel the change "back" to "backward" is necessary. If you wish to submit a patch that rewords it differently but that is more concise than your original patch, that'd be great. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-25 04:39:27] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com Hi David: Please switch "back" to "backward" in the phrase "for back compatibility". In addition, I feel the reworded explanation that got committed is just juggling around the old explanation. While this is clearer, it's not crystal clear. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-24 21:10:08] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your description in the patch was a little too verbose so I have reworded it myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
