Subject: Re: Adding parameter to ocisavelob() && $lob->save() and additional function to OCI8 extension
From: pollita@php.net ("Sara Golemon")

If you're interrested in writing the patch yourself (and this sounds like a
rather minor one), your best bet is to just write it and submit it for
review (Note: It wouldn't make it into PHP4 as that branch is frozen and
accepting bugfixes only, no new features, but PHP5 has room).

If you don't feel up to writing it yourself, the best place to request
features is http://bugs.php.net and file it under "Feature Request".  There,
someone can take "Assignment" of it and complete the changes in CVS.

As to documentation, you can checkout the PHP Manual sources (CVS module:
phpdoc) or just browse them via the web http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/phpdoc/
to get a feel for how they're laid out.  Then, write up new documentation
for the missing pages and submit them to phpdoc@lists.php.net
