  • Can I PHP? - caniuse.com but for PHP features

    I love this idea, and I'm tempting to contribute. I think first of all we need an open database with all manual entries with their initial version, deprecated version and removed version. We also need for all extension based manual entries a field indicating the name of the extension and/or whether they are enabled by default. Using https://github.com/php/web-php we can do a local extraction of this informtion. The UI and search algorithm are less interesting to me, but what you've made seems fine to me.

    If you're interested in seeing if you can improve the search facility, the PHP website source is available at https://github.com/php/web-php - the search facility is in search.php and results.php in the repository root. The autocomplete suggestions are controlled by js/search.js. It looks like some related files may also be in the manual/en directory.
