New PHP documentation build system is ready for testing

The PHP documentation team is pleased to announce the initial release of the new build system that generates the PHP Manual. Written in PHP, PhD ([PH]P based [D]ocBook renderer) builds are now available for viewing at [docs.php.net....] Everyone is encouraged to test and use this system so that bugs will be found and squashed.

Once the new build system is stable, expect additional changes to the PHP manual that will include an improved navigation system and styling for OOP documentation.

Feel free to set this developmental mirror as your default by using my.php [php.net].

I will be interested to see the changes. I thought the last changes they made to the manual were very good.

does anyone actually set their default mirror?

I never set my mirror... I always enter through php.net (no subdomain) and let it redirect me as it sees fit.

The online documentation for PHP is such an often used asset for me, I look forward to improvements. So far it just looks like they added light purple boxes behind each section. :/

I don't see a really good reason to set the default mirror however setting your default language is handy. Let's say you search for something in google and it happens to be in a different language. php.net will change it to your default language that you set in my.php.

Anyway, I look forward to changes as well ;)
