For more information, please read - Documentation for PHP 4. + Documentation for PHP 4 and + Documentation for 5, respectively.
+ The PHP 5 documentation was removed from the PHP Manual in September 2020, + approximately two years after PHP 5 reached its end of life. However, we have + provided downloadable copies of the manual for anyone who would need it. +
+ ++ An attempt has been made to preserve as much documentation related to PHP 5, as + possible. Despite this, we don't have a nice, separate manual covering only PHP 5. + The reason for this is how our documentation is structured. Even so, the archived copy + describes more aspects of PHP 5 than actual manual described in September 2020 (e.g. + it covers more PHP 5 extensions). +
+ ++ To download a copy of the manual for PHP 5, see the + documentation archives. Please, remember, that archived version should not + be used in everyday development, unless you are developing PHP 5 applications. + This version lacks many topics connected with newer PHP versions and it is not updated anymore. +
+ ++ All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade their environments to newest PHP version. + Please, read our guides for Migrating + from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7.0 for more information. +
