Reclassified as a site problem, since it's a 404 redirection issue, 
not a docs bug.  Duh.

Wasn't this an issue with all mirrors not having SQLite?
 [2009-03-15 19:28 UTC] danbrown@php.net
Going from memory, I think you're right about that having caused an 
error in the past, but this particular one wouldn't be based on a 
missing SQLite: SQLite is on us2, which is the mirror that I was 
using when the problem came up again.

It works fine with mirrors that lack sqlite:

 With: http://us.php.net/mysqli_connect
 Without: http://us3.php.net/mysqli_connect

A fix belongs in here:

 http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/systems/gen-phpweb-sqlite-db.php

And a few other [open] bugs relate to this script.

Philip: Didn't you commit fix for this few days ago?
Doesn't seem to have worked.. (or the index hasn't been rebuilt?)
 [2009-04-08 15:04 UTC] philip@php.net
The commit was last Saturday, yet the index rebuilds on Fridays.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. Since the websites are not directly
updated from the CVS 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.
