If you have problems opening other chm files then there is a problem
with your setup. The CHM files are built using MS HTML Help Workshop and
as such are expetected to run on any version of windows that supports
CHM files. There are no special dlls required.

The source of the manual is available via CVS and is stored in XML
files. Xslt translates the XML files into HTML files and then these are
crafted to the appropriate output (CHM, web, etc.)

Take a look at http://doc.php.net/php/dochowto/ for info on this.

You could also download the HTML archive from
http://uk.php.net/get/php_manual_en.tar.gz/from/a/mirror. This is MANY
html files which you can then install on your own web server (or use
direct access).
