There can be some questions we can't put into other
categories. Here you can find them.
The yellow pop-up windows on the old site were
pretty cool, but were very difficult to maintain (since
some companies seem to enjoy changing the way their
browsers work with every new release).
All the code for previous versions of the website
is still available through CVS. Specifically, the last
version of shared.inc (that had all the Javascript and
DHTML to do the popups) is available here.
If you don't have an archiver-tool to handle bz2
files download the commandline tool from
Redhat (please find further information below).
If you would not like to use a command line tool,
you can try free tools like Stuffit
Expander, UltimateZip, 7-Zip, or Quick
Zip. If you have tools like WinRAR or Power
Archiver, you can easily decompress the bz2 files
with it. If you use Windows Commander, a bz2 plugin for
that program is available freely from the Windows
Commander site.
The bzip2 commandline tool from Redhat:
Win2k Sp2 users grab the latest version 1.0.2, all
other Windows user should grab version 1.00. After
downloading rename the executable to bzip2.exe. For
convenience put it into a directory in your path, e.g.
C:\Windows where C represents your windows installation
drive.
Note: lang stands for your language and x for the
desired format, e.g.: pdf. To uncompress the
php_manual_lang.x.bz2 follow these simple
instructions:
invoke bzip2 -d php_manual_lang.x.bz2,
extracting php_manual_lang.x in the same folder
In case you downloaded the php_manual_lang.tar.bz2
with many html-files in it, the procedure is the same.
The only difference is that you got a file
php_manual_lang.tar. The tar format is known to be
treated with most common archivers on Windows like e.g.
WinZip.
