Download documentation
The PHP manual is available in a selection of languages and formats. Pick a language and format from the table below to start downloading.
Notes to read before you download
- The English version should be considered the most accurate, since translations are based on that version. Most of the translations are not complete, and contain English parts.
- The packaged HTML version of the manual (tar.gz) doesn't contain any directories, so all of the files will be dumped into your current working directory when you expand the archive unless the tool you use does otherwise.
-
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer under Windows XP SP2 or later and you are going to download the documentation in CHM format, you need to "unblock" the file after downloading it, by right-clicking on it and selecting the properties menu item. Then click on the 'Unblock' button (on Microsoft Vista this is done in the "security" options). Failing to do this may lead to errors in the visualization of the file, due to a Microsoft bug.
