Because PHP is such a 'thrown together' and 'bolted-on' language. If it
didn't have *outstanding* documentation (which it does BTW), no one
could even begin to understand how they got from a little HTML language
to a kinda/sorta OO language.
PHP is showing its age... thanks to its docs, it's still *extremely* useful.
