I found this app just a minute ago and think it’s brilliant. The PHP Function Index (PHPfi) is a PHP documentation viewer to look up any PHP function on your mac. It requires you download the PHP manual and unzip it onto a random folder on your Mac. Once that’s done you have a instantly searchable and readable offline version of the PHP manual.
But wait it gets better, the most valuable part of the PHP manual – the user comments, are downloadable too. You can set it to update one at a time or download every set of comments for every page in the manual in only one click.
Great for offline browsing and generally brilliant if you don’t want to have wait long periods of time to find those functions your looking for. Combine this with the classic polished and clean Mac interface – and you’ve got a better alternative to the real site.
My only critism of the software is the extremely poor dock icon. It looks like a XP icon in a Mac OSX dock.
