Ok, thank you. Well, it seems that PHP libraries don't have the documentation included... This is too bad, because it is much harder to search in the PHP manual, and some libraries that might be downloaded from different sites and made by different programmers won't have the documentation included in the PHP manual.
I thought PHP also have a kind of program like perldoc for perl which can display the documentation for a built in function, for a library that was installed, plus different tutorials... I guess it would be a good idea to implement such a thing in PHP also, including a documentation in comments, with some special marks... Teddy ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.
