Description:
------------
The manual pages for echo and print both refer to an external web page 
for discussion of the differences between them.  This page seems to have 
been hijacked by a spammer and is being filled with irrelevant links; no 
useful content is still on the page.

Reproduce code:
---------------
---
From manual page: function.echo#Notes
---


Expected result:
----------------
Click on the link and find useful information about the difference 
between these functions.

Actual result:
--------------
Click on the link and get some slimy SEO guy trying to squeeze some 
Google juice out of PHP.net's pagerank.

Thanks for the report. This is already fixed in SVN and will show up 
soon (sometime tomorrow).

See: http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=290877

This was actually updated by myself a few days ago.  When the 
documentation rebuilds, it will reflect the changes.

Thanks for your report and keeping an eye out for the less-than-
desirables out there in the world, Brent.  It's very much appreciated!
