This project preserves the documentation for older PHP versions that has been retired from the official php.net manual, now published on php-legacy-docs.zend.com
The legacy documentation is maintained by Zend and the community.
Ideally, we'd love to see everyone running the latest version of PHP! But to achieve this, someone has to read the old documentation to ensure the application's compatibility with the new PHP version.
This project comes with a script to create an index of which manual page exists for which PHP version. The resulting file will be supplied to php.net in order to speed up lookup.
- Generate the autoload file:
composer install - Execute using
php bin/indexpages.php
Q: Where are the translations?
A: There is no plan to maintain translations for legacy documentation.
Q: Will the documentation be updated?
A: We plan to fix reported inaccuracies, as long as there is a reasonable way to verify the information.
