If you reuse content from the manual, you should include the full
credits as well as the license terms of the work you include. We have a
list of authors as well as a page full of contributors which should be
reproduced along with the licensing terms of the manual.

If you find any errors in the PHP manual, please submit bug reports of
even better patches using our bug system at bugs.php.net (use the
Documentation Problem category).
