There are a number of PHP/FI2 functions (eg., reg_match) that
exist in currently circulating PHP samples/examples/apps
which are no longer present in PHP3;  some of these are
doc'd in PHP/FI2 documentation as being replaced by newer
functions, but the PHP3 documentation does not explicitly
mention that they are now gone (and which functions should
be used in their stead) - this makes porting of PHP/FI2 code
to PHP3 somewhat annoying when you run through the "changes
between PHP/FI2 and PHP3" list and still haven't successfully
ported the apps.

This is purely a time resource problem.
All of the core developers are pretty busy doing actual
coding jobs or writing the PHP 3 manual, and there's
really no much time left to write a detailed mapping
between the PHP/FI 2 functions and the PHP3 functions
(let alone the fact that this doesn't sound as a very
thrilling job).

Way too much has been changed and enhanced since PHP/FI2
for us to write such a detailed manual.  The switching
period may be a bit cranky, but I'm pretty sure you'd
find all the documentation you need in the PHP3 manual.

I've added a comment to the CHANGES file saying this.
