Description:
------------
I use the phpmanual facility so that I can get links to the function that fails, when it fails.

My code failed showing ...

Warning: FormMaint::__destruct() [function.--destruct.html]: message: Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'kpi_element_types' with unique index 'IX_element_types_ElementTypeExecutionSequence'. (severity 14) in C:\WebSites\PHP\Includes\class_FormMaint.inc on line 239

The important bit is [function.--destruct.html] which points to url ...

http://dev.kpi.bandvulc/phpmanual/function.--destruct.html

which doesn't exist.


Reproduce code:
---------------
Generating the error was VERY hard work (i.e. 1 line in the wrong place), but is not relevant to the problem. The problem is that there is no documentation for function.--desctruct.html

The __destruct() method is documented.

What criteria is used to ID a bug report as bogus?

I said "Documentation problem".

You say it IS documented, but not with regards to the phpmanual facility activated within PHP.INI?

I'm using the latest HTML manuals available (28-8-2004).

There is no page called function.--destuct.html in the archive available from www.php.net.

I do not see how this is bogus?

The problem is that we don't have a function ID for the __destruct() method (and won't have this).
PHP will generate valid links for almost every function, but it won't work for OOP methods, as they are documented in a different place (language reference chapter).

As PHP can't imagine where every single function is documented, this won't be fixed (any other php member speak if is against!).

Special methods need special handling. I guess PHP developers would not like the docs to have the __destruct() function(!) documented with a dumb page, so the error reporting code should be able to detect if it is about a special OO function, and should direct to the right doc page IMHO.

Perhaps the PHP developers can also fix the code for the people? If "destruct" is generated as link, then the doc system should handle it.
