Description:
------------
I downloaded the English version of the Windows Help File ( 11mb download from php.net, containing php_manual.chm, and some other setting files, eg. an exe that changes the skin options, buttons to be visible in chm file etc). The problem is that i am only able to see the usernotes, NOT the actual manual. The manual pages appear blank. They don't show up in any ways ( eg. i right clicked --> properties--> copied the path-> pasted to ie/ff , but again the blank page is showing). What may be the problem ?

The manual built on January 4th 2007 is OK.

The md5() for the file is b5309732f5ac674209fb5a5a0d461ba1

The zip archive is 14,717,003 bytes in size. Windows reports this as 14MB.

If yours is REALLY 11MB, then you probably have a broken archive.

In case you had an incorrect link, then try this http://www.php.net/get/php_manual_chm.zip/from/a/mirror

It may be that your local mirror is out of date, in which case try this one http://uk2.php.net/get/php_manual_chm.zip/from/this/mirror

Well, it's not a broken archieve.
But, i found the problem. I had switched off the java script option with the help of a 3rd party software. And the php manual ( the reference, Not the user notes), displays it's content with the help of Java Script. Thus turning off Java Script , resulted in the blank pages inside the PHP-Manual.
This topic is solved, and can be closed now.Thanks. :).

"Known bugs and limitations
 Though there are CHM viewers for non-Windows platforms, 
we use JScript objects in the CHM, so this edition will 
probably not work for those trying to view the contents in 
alternate viewers."

This should had been a hint that you need JScript 
enabled... :)
