Hi guys,

While checking a RFC page I noticed the Status was showing "Under
discussion" while the RFC list (https://wiki.php.net/rfc) was showing it
was Implemented.

Then I checked several other RFC's and quite a lot of them have mismatching
information. I compiled a list so somebody with access could revisit and
fix them.

Each one should have the right Status, which according to the RFC list page
is Implemented.
Sorry if I wasn't clear on my initial post.

Thanks, I updated all statuses of the listed RFCs to "Implemented in PHP
5.x". Only one I didn't change is
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/allow_multiple_simultaneous_syslog_connections,
because I have no idea whether that actually landed or not.

Hello,

As a related note, the "How To Create an RFC" page 
(https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto) states this:

 > 8. When your feature is implemented in PHP, update the RFC with:
 >   i.   the version(s) it was merged to
 >   ii.  a link to the git commit(s)
 >   iii. a link to the PHP manual entry for the feature

Some of your own RFCs don't have this, nor do others. I think this 
should also be addressed.

Thanks.

The creation steps were not in their current form until after a number
of RFCs were created.  Not all RFCs will contain the information that
they mention.  I don't think there is a huge value in retro updating
old RFCs - but feel free to do it.

If the PHP Manual doesn't have useful information about the feature
(description and implementation version), then log a bug or fix the
manual directly.

Ah, I see. I was unaware of that, and I agree.

If you find any RFC created after June 2013 that is lacking, prod the authors.
