mysqli procedural calls and manual entries ?

I run a local mirror of the PHP manual, and I most often go straight to=

the "Search for" box to look up the format of a function. With the
mysqli functions, I've found than many of them simply
aren't "available" that way. E.g. mysqli_connect() - "Sorry, but the
function mysqli_connect is not in the online manual.". =20

Would it be a lot of effort to create function manual entries for the
procedural style of mysqli_*?=20

Hi Per,

The manual already supports that. If you install the sqlite extension
on your webserver, it should work.

Actually, Per, they do exist.... it's a problem with the manual
error-router itself. I'll take a look at that again today. It's been
forgotten for years, for some reason. I'll let you know if/when
there's a solution.... hopefully I can get to it and finish it today.

In the meantime, you can find the XML sources for those on your
local mirror in {$MIRROR_ROOT}/reference/mysqli/ and it's children.
Specifically for mysqli_connect(), see
{$MIRROR_ROOT}/reference/mysqli/mysqli/connect.xml .

Hi Daniel

That's what I thougfht too, but I wasn't sure. The pages are clearly
there, e.g.:

http://php/manual/en/mysqli.connect.php

Dan;

The question wasn't whether or not it supports that kind of
lookup, but rather why it's not working. We've had issues with the
mysqli_* stuff for years. It's a known issue to us, but not to
everyone.
