missing docs for 5.4 View as Markdown

Hi!

We're still missing some docs for new 5.4 stuff, and I think it'd be
great to have it covered by the time of the release. These parts are
completely missing from the manual:

• Syntax: Short array notation, callable type in function args

• Classes: ReflectionZendExtension, SessionHandler

• Methods: XsltProcessor::setSecurityPrefs($options) and getSecurityPrefs()

• Functions: ldap_control_paged_result,
  ldap_control_paged_result_response, session_status,
  session_register_shutdown

• INI values: windows_show_crt_warnings, disable_post_data_processing

• Options: SORT_NATURAL and SORT_FLAG_CASE options for sort functions,
  new options to DOMDocument::loadHTML

These are mentioned in the manual, but need updates/complete documentation:

• Classes: Spoofchecker, JsonSerializable, mysqli_result (not documented
  as implementing Traversable)

• Methods: RegexIterator::getRegex, ReflectionExtension::isTemporary &
  isPersistent, ReflectionClass::isCloneable

• Functions: hex2bin, ldap_parse_reference and ldap_parse_result,
  openssl_csr_get_public_key, openssl_csr_get_subject, openssl_decrypt,
  openssl_dh_compute_key, openssl_digest, openssl_encrypt - shown in the
  manual as undocumented, additionally for encrypt and decrypt signatures
  do not match actual state of affairs in 5.4 - options is long, but bool
  parameter is listed instead.

• Not documented as removed in 5.4: magic quotes,
  import_request_variables, define_syslog_variables,
  session_is_registered, session_register, session_unregister, INI options
  allow_call_time_pass_reference, define_syslog_variables, highlight.bg

Thanks in advance!
