Hello everyone,
Today I played around with the xhprof extension:
http://pecl.php.net/xhprof
It's nice, but lacks official documentation. Let's discuss how we
document extensions that include optional helper libraries, so for
example:
xhprof --> xhprof UI
inclued --> graphviz.php
... --> ...
In other words, some extensions are packaged with stuff that makes
them friendly and useful to humans.
Basically it comes down to the following options (please also think of
others):
A) Suggest the helper be a PEAR package (PEAR Manual)
B) Simply add examples of its use in the PHP manual
C) Determine DocBook syntax, and fully document it within the PHP
manual
We basically follow the PEAR route, but I don't think all of these
extensions will have associated PEAR packages. So today we prefer and
suggest (A), allow (B), but disallow (C) ... does that sound right?
Please think about it and determine if (C) feels like a good idea.
Regards,
Philip
