Although there really aren't many tutorials > currently, eventually a tutorial index feels useful. i wasn't suggesting reproducing the entire command-line section. i was more thinking along the lines of something early in the installation section, maybe a very first section, "how can you tell if you have PHP installed already?" if people are truly beginners, they may not even *know* if PHP is on their system. so a simple sequence of commands they can run, with a rationale for them, such as: $ type php# is it here and where is it? $ php -v # what version is it? $ php -m # what modules are loaded? $ php -h # get general help not only would this get a new reader at least typing a few commands, but you can recommend that if they *do* need to install, they can re-use this list as a sanity check to verify the install went well. you might also mention that when they eventually ask for help, people will ask them these very questions, "what version are you running? what modules are loaded?" rday -- Robert P.

[PHP-DOC] building svn checkout of manual: "BuildOptionsParser.php" error
a short report on the latest attempt to checkout and build the manual from SVN. checkout worked fine, i installed phd, then ran build.sh, several lines of what looked like reasonable output, then: [09:25:09 - E_USER_ERROR ] /usr/share/pear/phpdotnet/phd/BuildOptionsParser.php:134 Invalid Package $ Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console am i just missing a required package? if so, that should be mentioned in the comments section of the build.sh script. or did i just do something dumb? rday -- Robert P.
