How to help improve the documentation

There are several ways everyone can help improve this documentation.

If an error is found in this manual, in any language, please report them using the issue tracker of the respective language repository at » https://github.com/php; for instance, errors in the English manual should be reported at » https://github.com/php/doc-en/issues. All documentation related problems, including those about manual formats, should be submitted as bug reports.

Note:

Please don't abuse the issue trackers by submitting requests for help. Instead, use one of the many » support options.

By contributing notes, users may provide additional examples, caveats, and clarifications for other readers. But please do not submit bug reports using the annotation system. For details, see the section titled 'About user notes'.

It is also possible to submit pull requests to the » Github mirror of the documentation repository.

The PHP manual is translated into many languages. Knowing English and a foreign language allows for another way to help improve the PHP manual by working with a translation team. For information about starting a new translation, or helping a currently translated version, please read » http://doc.php.net/tutorial/.

The PHP Documentation Project also has an IRC channel where many manual authors hang out. Stop by #php.doc on irc.efnet.org and discuss ways to improve the PHP documentation.
