go here :
http://www.php.net/tips.php
it will turn your browser into a search machine. or, get the toolbar
thingee from google :
http://services.google.com/navclient/welcome.html
it is FAR superior then the windows find thing as it highlights words.
the manual everyone is talking about is called "HTML Version" and can be
found here :
http://php.net/docs.php
and there is *never* a time where google toolbar can't be used when
windows find can, remember that! :-) although that's a different
discussion. but just turn on highlight, enter the term and press
term button and presto! will go to next term and all will be highlighted
like magic. but in all reality, searching php.net is most useful as it
searches user comments too, so :
http://php.net/search.php
you can even specify what to search. i like to search "the mailing list"
as it is so useful, add a mailing list search too via instructions under
that tips.php page, i have this :
alias : ml
url : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&r=1&w=2&q=b&s=%s
that will make more sense after reading tips page. adding little search
aliases to the browser is most useful.
