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! -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 --- ## #56631 — irker@irker.net — 2011-11-25T12:02:09+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/56483#56631 · In reply to: #56483 Also missing `JSON_BIGINT_AS_STRING` .

Who would I get in contact with to get an assignment? Just the PHP docs list or someone specific? (I'm subbed to the internals list, I dunno if I'm subbed to the docs list but the original message was crossposted to both and I'm following suit). > Also missing `JSON_BIGINT_AS_STRING` . > > With regards, Alexander Moskaliov > Irker@irker.net --- ## #56947 — Hannes Magnusson — 2011-12-18T14:34:32+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/56483#56947 · In reply to: #56844 We don't hand out assignments, this isn't work or school :) You work on things you want to work on, issues you find or browse the bugtracker.
