Better documentation for PHP, Python, JavaScript, JQuery, HTML, CSS, and DOM

This is especially for PHP, which documentation website sucks. Use for the other languages too.

http://dochub.io/

Happy hacking!

@tea_time thanks. I was looking for something like this one. I still think that it can be improved, make more user friendly, but is a great start anyway :)

I've been a PHP developer for 10 years now, and I have to disagree; the php website does not suck. It is one of the easiest websites to find information on.

Just type:

php.net/<search term here>

And it will probably find what you're looking for. If you entered a class name, function name, global constant or even a php.ini setting, it will take you directly to the manual page for it.

For example:

php.net/datetime
php.net/string
php.net/strftime

In addition to this, the user notes at the bottom of each page can prove invaluable.

Maybe I was unfair with the PHP website, but only because I want them to be better. I've been a PHP developer for as long as you and the website look the same as the one when I first started back in 1998.
Dochub provides a better interface and search engine with ajax (including REST based search), and is not only about PHP ;)

Let's see:

1. Ajax search engine
2. Clean interface (can ben better)
3. Rest search (try http://dochub.io/#php/explode)
4. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, DOM, JQuery, PHP, and Python on the same page

Happy hacking!

I also can't agree with you on PHP. The PHP doc is one big blob (in contrast to docs on other languages…) and a as huge downer: it lacks all the comments on php.net which are really worth going to php.net.

I like dochub.io but the documentation is missing some functions.

For example, if you search for "filter_var" in the PHP documentation, nothing shows up :(

Hey thanks I didn't knew about this site and is quite useful!

I don't think PHP website sucks but dochub.io is really cool

Missing functions, classes, interfaces, comments, module-specific requirements/installation/configuration; yes this is much better!

Huh :( And where is Ruby?

I can see that because the JS is sourced from Mozilla, some of the functions are not available cross browser....

eg, Object.watch is not available in Chrome. I think Chrome uses Object.observe
