Good point.

It's unknown because this extension was "moved to PECL" although since it lacks a release there it's a little more difficult to explain how to install. The extension appears quite dead too (and is labeled as unmaintained):

  http://pecl.php.net/package/yp

However, it's in CVS:

  http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pecl/yp/

So please test if it works for you via the PECL install instructions:

  http://docs.php.net/install.pecl

And here's a 2006 request to release a package for it:

  http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=9247

Regardless, the documentation needs up updating.

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.
