This is no longer true.
docs.php.net is now running the 'official' HEAD branch as it will be
used under the phd RC testing as an official mirror.
In the meantime, thanks to Sean, builds from this branch are available
at http://livedocs.phpdoc.info/manual/en/
It goes without saying that this is awesome and a great step for the
PHP manual. The dream and reality of allowing an extension specific
faq, tutorial, and the like, by using set/book is most excellent.
Regarding basic extension navigation, like from here:
http://livedocs.phpdoc.info/manual/en/funcref.php
It's sometimes difficult to find an extension. Right now this uses
information (status, membership, and state) that is currently defined
in each reference.xml and displayed here:
http://php.net/extensions
This is good but because it's difficult to categories all of these,
and because one day we will have over 1000 extensions (god bless
PECL!), we'll need to offer an alternative means or three for finding
these extensions. One route (current, non-dev) is to offer users a
view of them alphabetically. Another is to focus on our search
functionality. Basically we need to brain storm on this because I'm
afraid it's too difficult to find an extension and the problem will
only get worse. Perhaps use the categorized approach as current, and
offer (link to) an alphabetized version in the appendix. But maybe
someone will come up with something more innovative... :)
And on a sidenote, ref.http is missing from manual.xml.in (it should
be under 'Affecting PHP's Behaviour') but maybe it's not ready? Just
wondering.
And for good measure, one user created the following awhile back:
