PHP 4 has been/is being removed from the manual. That whole section should be checked to make sure it's still correct for PHP 7, and of course edited a bit.

"PHP implements the static and global modifier for variables..."

Something along those lines is how I would phrase it

Huh, seems reasonable to write it like that Kalle.
Will go on and update my current patch for it.

Updated my patch at http://edit.php.net/?patchID=3314&project=PHP
to include the fix for this.

I reviewed the patch;

The patches seems to make the assumption that arrays like $HTTP_POST_VARS is PHP4 only, This is not the case as they were available after the introduction of superglobals like $_POST in 4.1.0 all the way to their deprecation in 5.3.0. Check the register_long_arrays ini directive, which I removed in 5.4.0.

(Just assign me if you need more comments as I am not subscribed to bug reports)

Thanks =D

Hey Kalle updated the patch may you have another look at it (still the same link http://edit.php.net/?patchID=3314&project=PHP)

And if you have time could you have a look at another, larger, patch that removes notions of PHP 4 and PHP 5.0.0? http://edit.php.net/?patchID=3282&project=PHP

Cheers

Ping @kalle, anytime during the week?

Sorry it took so long, I reviewed the patch in the editor and it looks good, feel free to commit it, just make sure it validates.

I tried to commit it but it said there was some update error and I'm not that familiar with the editor interface so I cannnot tell what is going on.

Thanks for looking at it however I don't have the required Karma to commit to the English Documentation.

Maybe I should ask for it, or can you grant it to me?

Hi, I just asked Nikita to grant you karma as I don't have SVNROOT karma, alternatively try ping Salathe@ and ask him for the karma for doc-en :)

Okay great :)
Will wait until Monday before pinging someone else.

Thanks for everything :)
