I agree with the intent - documentation is *very* important. Even though, people use undocumented features too (probably cursing the lazy developers on the way ;) BTW, as far as I remember, we have at least 4 undocumented features right now sitting in 5.3 CVS, so if anybody wants to do something cool, that's a good place: - Nowdocs aren't documented - .htaccess-like .ini files undocumented - [HOST=] and [PATH=] .ini sections undocumented - new version constants undocumented -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
