Hi,

I'd like to add to Mike's note and say that I especially appreciate and 
value the work of those doing documentation.

I really believe that PHP's easily available and thoroughly detailed 
docs has majorly contributed to its widespread usage. Is there anything 
comparable to php.net? I haven't come across anything better in the 
seven years or so that it has been serving as an online manual. It is to 
the credit of the PHP team for the way they have promoted such an 
integrated system of documenting PHP. That is what allows things like 
knowing exactly what version is applicable to a function, extensive 
cross-referencing, and being up-to-date on the most recent changes, 
among other things.


Thank you.
