The downloadable manual with multiple files contains many files that are greater than 32 characters which means it is unusable for Mac users. It would be helpful if the names were shortened appropriately- I know I'm not the only Mac user of PHP out there.

Additionally, this bug report form should redisplay the form with all the fields filled in when there is an error. I forgot to fill out my email address and when I clicked back after I saw the error, all my filled out fields were gone.

Could you provide a list of DSSSL or XSL stylesheets tailored for Macs? These would be neede to generate appropriately named files for that OS from the original DocBook XML source of the manual.

Without such stylesheets, I would recommend using the one-file big HTML version (or the PDF version if available) of the manual.

I don't think this is worth really worth fixing.

Mac OS X supports long file names, and I'd expect current 
PHP users to upgrade. If you're keeping current with PHP, 
why not your OS?

The easiest workaround for Mac OS 9.1 is to create an 
Internet Explorer "Web Archive" from the online manual by 
going to File -> Save As. The Web Archive keeps the whole 
help file hierachy in a single file and allows for easy and 
fast offline browsing.

No objections received, so I'm closing.
