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 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 in Windows Explorer and selecting the "Properties" menu item, then clicking on the "Unblock" button (on Windows Vista this is within the "Security" options). Failure to unblock the documentation file may result in error messages including "Navigation to the webpage was canceled" due to Windows security restrictions.
