Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/class.filesystemiterator
---
The Changelog on http://php.net/manual/en/class.filesystemiterator.php shows "5.2.11 Added FilesystemIterator::FOLLOW_SYMLINKS", but http://php.net/ChangeLog-5.php indicates that FilesystemIterator wasn't added until PHP 5.3.0.

These two pieces of documentation seem to be in conflict.

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.

It would be strange for a class constant to exist before the class itself does! Thanks for spotting the inconsistency, which has now been fixed.
