I can't find anything like that in the docs.
Please provide the link to the page.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

You really need to be more verbose - I barely found that you were talking about file sapi/cli/php.1 in PHP4.x (and the typo is fixed in 5.x, btw).
Fixed in CVS, though.

Thanks for the update Tony. I should have made it clearer. I should have said if you do a 'man php' from the terminal prompt you get blah blah blah etc.

I'll remember for next time. Thanks
