Re: [PHP-DOC] To the German-people: filesystem.xml
Hello Mark, I'm with you in general, and the comparison is also between professional product against PHP as a Open Source. As a basis, we get already compared with also expensive prof. products like cfm, but now it's our turn to improve our stuff so that we don't leave ourself open for such a reference. And indeed, we have enough to do, since PHP gets more popular, e.g. 1.) Several extension-intros have "only Linux"-wordings, like: "you must compile php with xxx support by using the --with-xxx option." Now imagine a Win-user, who just wants to make his Web dynamic: "What is compile?" 2.) The 1st array_flip()-example: $trans = array_flip ($trans); $original = strtr ($str, $trans); The same user: "What is $trans? What has $str to look like, and what will $original be?" To make a long story short: Now we have to fill the gap between the best Open Source documentation for a specific target-audience to a consistent documentation for mixed environments, and a mixed audience.

I have deleted another article from this journal by Marco Zierl. He writes IMHO nonsense.

Though it was not the first which was nearly 90% wrong. Dont belive everything they write. IMHO the Documentation of PHP is one of the best Documentations of Opensource Projects Ive ever seen.

Not to forget the CVS-account-story: First offering an account before I've asked for, then, weeks later, denying it, and then asking false "Do you have an CVS account?". Sorry, that all seems to be too heavy to me. Thomas
Re: [PHP-DOC] To the German-people: filesystem.xml
It gets annoying with the time. Should I really provide a version for filesystem.xml v1.64, and array.xml I was currently working on, or will it also be ignored only? > > > Do you have an CVS account?

If something in MY contributed files isn't OK, tell me what wrong, so that I can learn for the next time. If they are OK, then please commit them (and don't tell me what you have found in the English version, because I'll see the changes, and provide upgrades for them) IN SHORT: DO NOT COMPLETELY IGNORE EACH OF MY CONTRIBUTIONS ! Thomas P.S.: The question if I should really do anything more was meant serious, because if 80% of my work are not even worth a short answer (if you won't commit it), I'll change to another project. BTW: Have you seen the bad reference for the PHP-DOC in relation to asp, etc. in the comparison between WebScriptLangs in "Internet Professionell"? I hope it doesn't get worse, if you really act with everybody like me. Look at "Dokumentation": http://www.zdnet.de/internet/artikel/java/200105/applikationssprachen06_03-w c.html
