The Windows HTML Help Edition of the PHP Manual over-performs the
presentational and interactive capabilities offered by other editions
(including the online manual). This was possible because currently CHMs
can only be viewed on Windows using Internet explorer, so we can develop
for one browser family and one operating system. Viewers for other OSes
may be developed in the future by third parties.
User Preferences
Most of the interactive features of this manual are provided by the
viewer application (including full text search, index, favorites
list), but we extended this list with PHP Manual specific tools.
All these can be adjusted to your needs using a simple desktop
application named php_manual_prefs.exe. If you
run this program you can see three groups of settings: Online Functions,
Context Menu, and Skin. All your settings are stored in
php_manual_prefs.js.
Online functions enable you to have elements connected to websites.
The two ones you can see on all manual pages are "This page online"
and "Report a bug". As you can figure out the first one shows you
the same page in the online manual, the second one opens a page
from http://bugs.php.net/ and prefills
some bug data for you. You need to select a mirror site to use for
"php.net sensitive" online functions. We recommend choosing a close
mirror site to get the best speed. Other components that may be
limited by this online functions setting include context menu items
opening new websites ("Google search selection" for example).
Custom designs may also include elements restricted by this setting.
The context menu settings enables you to choose which context menu
you prefer. This application provides you with an option to define
your own context menu adding elements to it from a predefined set.
You can have this custom context menu for the right click of your
mouse, and have the original menu for CTRL+right click, or the
opposite way. Three special types of custom context menu items exist:
Таблица 81-1. Context menu items
| Type | Examples | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Page Jump | Function Reference, Function Index | - These items jump to a specific page in the CHM. Page Jump options are not
restricted to point inside the CHM though. They can point to websites or other resources. Page jump options with a protocol part in the URL open in new window. |
| Function Call | Print page, Select all, Copy selection to clipboard, Google Search Selection | - These are "function calls" for internally defined context
menu functions. The last two examples have the speciality that they only show up in the menu if you rightclicked on a selection. Currently there is no way to extend the context menu with skin defined functions. |
| Special display | Google SearchBox, AlltheWeb SearchBox | - These are displayed as HTML forms, where you can enter search
keywords, press ENTER, and receive a new window with the search issued in the appropriate search engine. Currently there is no way to extend the set of specially displayed context menu items. |
Possible context menu elements and their "abstract implementations" are
stored in context.ini. You have the ability to add
possible page jump options there, but there is no way currently to extend
the context menu system with user (skin) defined functions. The possible
mirror sites are listed in mirrors.ini. Feel free to
suggest more bundled context menu items to us at
The skins setting enables you to choose from the two bundled default
skins, or from any user defined skins. The Low skin is optimized to
display correctly at any small size, the High skin is optimized for
your viewing pleasure. Other skins may be developed according to our
skins development guide. The recommended
place for skins on the file system is the skins/SKINNAME
subfolder of the PHP Manual directory. Though this is not required, some
skins may define other rules (not recommended). We included sample
skins for you to see examples of how to develop skins for the PHP Manual.
You have three buttons to choose from at the bottom. The Apply button
applies your changes without exiting, the OK button applies and closes
the application, the Cancel button does not modify your settings and
closes the program.
