Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/ini.list
---
for the settings
- 'sybct.allow_persistent'
- 'sybct.max_links'
- 'sybct.max_persistent'
the changelog sais: PHP_INI_ALL in PHP <= 4.0.2. Available since PHP 4.0.2. 
Removed in PHP 4.0.3.

This is not logical because if the setting was introduced in PHP 4.0.2. it 
couldn't have different defaults before.

Default of sybct.allow_persistent seems to be "1" | "on", 

best I could find.
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-4.0/ext/sybase_ct/php_sybase_ct.c#L297

Only one default seems to be there, the page might has changed since 2012. Not sure whether I am looking at the right thing.

Yes, the reference you showed seems being right to see at least the default values.

My complain was not about these values in the documentation but about the "PHP_INI_ALL in PHP <= 4.0.2". It should be "PHP_INI_ALL in PHP = 4.0.2" because the feature was introduced in PHP 4.0.2. So it never exists in 4.0.1 or before and the sign "<=" is wrong.

This was generated by a old script that attempted to detect introduction of ini entries by scanning the src.
That apparently didn't quite work out -- this ini option was available until the death of the extension, PHP5.4:
http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=blob;f=ext/sybase_ct/php_sybase_ct.c;h=abad531bace4eb405577c19d3953d681839d8738;hb=refs/heads/PHP-5.3.29#l514

It should speak volumes about the popularity of the extension :)

We no longer maintain PHP4 docs -- but that bogus version info should maybe be fixed for the fun of it

hehe, ok.
You still discovered another fault, that's good.

I think it's helpful to have an accurate Documentation, the support for the versions is not directly concerned by the documentation and I think the documentation at least should be as right as possible.
Sometimes we've to deal with strange situations and old versions and if the documentation is right then it can be quite helpful.

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.
