php.net runs the language's documentation. its not just a home page
- netsharc 2y agoWhen latency and pageload was in seconds instead of milliseconds, downloading the documentation as a Windows Help file improved my efficiency. This is a "kids these days" post. Maybe in a few years "The connection to the data center hosting the 1000 GPUs that run the LLM I ask how to do stuff is down, I can't get any work done!"
- kyriakos 2y agoI've been using PHP since 1999 and never downloaded the documentation locally.
- jeroenhd 2y agoThere's absolutely nothing preventing anyone from downloading the docs. However, search engines won't return results from your local .hlp files and there are plenty of cases where the comments underneath a manual page give context for edge cases that wasn't necessarily described in the docs. I personally rely on the local documentation in my IDE because I can't be bothered to continuously update my docs with the latest errata and additions.
