Local PHP Manual

Notice: This feature is not actively maintained. See Unmaintained Features.

php-search-documentation using local manual

When this feature is enabled, php-search-documentation (which is bound to C-c C-f by default) will open a locally installed manual in your browser instead of the online manual at www.php.net.

Setup

Download “Many HTML files” for your favorite language from Download documentation and expand the file.

Put follows code into your .emacs (~/.emacs.d/init.el) file:

(custom-set-variables
 '(php-manual-path (expand-file-name "~/local/share/php-manual"))
 '(php-search-documentation-function #'php-local-manual-search))

Hint

• You don't need to use the local manual unless you are offline.
• php-search-documentation-function was added in PHP Mode 2.0.
