Description:
------------
The page at http://www.php.net/download-docs.php says "The packaged HTML version of the manual (tar.gz) doesn't contain any directories, so all of the files will be dumped into your current working directory when you expand the archive unless the tool you use does otherwise."

This is not correct. The PHP manual "multiple HTML files" download does contain a directory "php-chunked-xhtml" which contains the files.  The unpacked files are not dumped into your current working directory.

(Personally, I think this packaging is wrong. Who but other DocBook users would make sense of "chunked"? I would like it better if it unpacked to "php-manual" or something like that. Still, I'm writing this as a PHP.net bug because the information does not match the download.)

The fix for this bug has been committed. Since the websites are not directly
updated from the repository, 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.
