PHP Documentation in Man Page format

A collection of man pages for various PHP projects. Currently only has the PHP functions in man page format as a reference, but probably will expand in the future with more sources (such as the Symfony 1.x/2.x API).

What is this about?

Well, nothing too fancy actually. It's the current PHP documentation in Man Page format. The PHP Documentation docbook sources are exported to a man page format, by using the phd command. The Man pages are provided as a convinience, so many users don't have to setup the phd program and execute it themselves. Thus, only 'binary' files are distributed.

How to use it?

• Edit the pman.sh file and change the DOC_ROOT parameter to the path where you want to install the man pages. The default is: /usr/lib/php/doc/pman/
• Copy the pman.sh file to your /usr/local/bin directory or similiar [The .sh extension can be omitted if you like]
• Change the permissions of the pman.sh and set it as executable (e.g. chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pman.sh)
• Copy the manpages/* entirely to the DOC_ROOT path which you've set in the pman.sh file.
• View with 'pman.sh ', e.g. pman.sh file_exists
