Webboard: PHP manuals for mnogosearch suck!

These things one should know at least when dealing with the PHP manual:

 - it is so outdated, that it renders almost unusable

 - get the mnogosearch template and lookup every use of a function there

   before trying out yourself: for udm_alloc_agent, e.g. the args are 

   different!

   $agent = udm_alloc_agent('mysql://...../?dbmode=multi");

   instead

   $agent = udm_alloc_agent('mysql://...../", "multi");

 - mind the call of udm_set_agent_param for UDM_PARAM_QUERY



I found these in a polish board: algorytmy.pl ... Thanks to those guys! (They referred to "gluke" but I did not find a ref of his request here, likely to be my fault.



I strongly recommend updating the PHP documentation, the actually deployed one sucks massively. If not successful soon I would have had to drop mnogosearch. On the other hand as question: if mnogosearch maintainers do not want to upgrade the docs, why not staying backwards compatible at least? This would have saved me 5 long evenings and would have me talk about mnogosearch as a blessing instead of a pain in the *ss to configure. Right now it is surely hacker's first choice but to deploy it in a serious project, I'd think twice. 



This doesn't really earn you a support contract anywhere!
