PHP Help as a Man Page (with Pear)

January 16, 2010 | 2 Comments

terminalAlexandre blogged last week about how to install pman and add a contextual help within VI for PHP functions. Tthis post is merely a quick note of the procedure. I like the speed of pman as opposed to browsing php.net. I didn’t install the VI part, I use Textmate these days.

The procedure is actually straight forward: add the doc.php.net channel to pear then install pman

1
2
3
pear channel-discover doc.php.net

pear install doc.php.net/pman

If everything went fine, try

1
pman substr

Thanks to @alheim for the tip!
