Undocumented 5.3 features View as Markdown

I agree with the intent - documentation is very important. Even
though, people use undocumented features too (probably cursing the lazy
developers on the way ;)

Indeed. And in few years noone has a clue wtf all this code is about
or how to use it even wondering if it would even work.
Testing said features is equally as important to make sure the feature
stay working and not removed since noone could figure out how to use
it coughzend-multibytecough.

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

http://docs.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.nowdoc

• .htaccess-like .ini files undocumented

Heh? You mean the .htaccess FastCGI thingy?

• [HOST=] and [PATH=] .ini sections undocumented

Richard was looking into that one last time I knew.

• new version constants undocumented

Those were quick and easy job:
http://docs.php.net/manual/en/reserved.constants.php

• Functions/features throwing E_DEPRECATED
• ?:
• __callStatic I think is still undocumented
• Few stream context options
• All the new datetime and spl stuff
• GC
• New E_STRICT/E_FATAL/E_WARNINGs (like we did with the 5.2 release)

And bunch of other small things here and there.
