I have to use PHP from time to time, in which cases I often have to use the manual on php.net. I don't like it at all. The official documentation is often incomplete, leaving out the details I need and forcing me to read the comments. Which I don't want to do, since many comments show a lack of understanding of the subject matter. I have to read all of them, trying to find out which ones are correct and which ones are wrong (or misleading) to get the complete picture. I like Python's documentation, where I can be confident that the documentation is correct (except in the case of the very exceptional bug) and mostly clear, much better. -- The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. -- Isaac Asimov Roel Schroeven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
