Re: [PHP-WEBMASTER] Manual nomenclature

Thats not what he is asking.


He is asking what the colors in the prototype mean.

mixed strpos ( string $haystack , mixed $needle [, int $offset = 0 ] )

on the website, the types are green in the proto, the initializer
(including the = sign) are purple/pink etc etc.

This prototype has more, and different, colors then highlight_string()
offers btw - but again, he isn't complaining about the
highlight_string() docs - just asking what the colors in the proto
mean.

We document the proto on http://php.net/about.prototypes - but don't
say anything about the coloring.
