Where did the pop-ups go on the website?
Can I have the code for that?
The yellow pop-up windows on the old site were pretty cool, but
were very difficult to maintain (since some companies seem to
enjoy changing the way their browsers work with every new release).
All the code for previous versions of the website is still available
through CVS. Specifically, the last version of shared.inc (that had
all the Javascript and DHTML to do the popups) is available

How can I handle the bz2 compressed manuals on Windows?
If you don't have an archiver-tool to handle bz2 files
the commandline tool
from Redhat (please find further information below).
If you would not like to use a command line tool, you can try free

easily decompress the bz2 files with it. If you use Windows Commander,
a bz2 plugin for that program is available freely from the

Win2k Sp2 users grab the latest version 1.0.2, all
other Windows user should grab version 1.00. After downloading rename

your path, e.g. C:\Windows where C represents your windows installation
drive.
Note: lang stands for your language and x for the desired format, e.g.: pdf.
To uncompress the php_manual_lang.x.bz2 follow these simple instructions:
open a command prompt window
cd to the folder where you stored the
downloaded php_manual_lang.x.bz2
invoke bzip2 -d php_manual_lang.x.bz2, extracting
php_manual_lang.x in the same folder
In case you downloaded the php_manual_lang.tar.bz2 with many html-files
in it, the procedure is the same. The only difference is that you got a file
php_manual_lang.tar. The tar format is known to be treated with most
common archivers on Windows like e.g.
