Description:
------------
Well, I searched the PHP.net site for "STOP" and it forwards me to the following page: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.settype.php


Hannes M. explained how it works to me, which makes sense. I did mention a possible fix (sorta) and he said sounded like a good idea and to forward the info. through here, so here it is:

Perhaps you guys could put an asterisk at the bottom of such pages, or a note to say, 'NOT the results you wanted?' with a link to explain your 'search algorithm' a little more. I'm sure I'm not the only one that runs into this, and I was a bit confused as to what was happening when I was searching, thinking there's an error, not realizing 'STOP' isn't a PHP command.

I also just noticed, well, if you can't read the IMAGE, the CAPTCHA image, it says to click HELP, but when you do it only forwards you to this page: http://bugs.php.net/captcha-help.php  which is not really helpful. The CAPTCHA is hard to read also.

And I also noticed, up top of this page, it says,

"If you're sure that your report is a genuine bug that has not been reported before, you can scroll down and click the submit button to really enter the details into our database."

but there is no 'submit button', only a button that says, "SEND BUG REPORT", which I understand it is, but I'm sure there are people confused by it.


Thanks, your site is great!

This bug has been fixed in SVN. Since the websites are not directly
updated from the SVN server, the fix might need some time to spread
across the globe to all mirror sites, including PHP.net itself.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP.net better.

Over the years, pretty much everything else in this report has been changed or 
fixed.  The one remaining issue (the semantics related to the submit button) was 
committed with SVN revision 311144.
