<h1>Documentation</h1>

<p>
 The PHP manual is available online in a selection of languages.
 You can choose between the printer friendly and graphically
 designed versions. Please pick a language and format from
 the table below.
</p>

<p>
 You can learn how to integrate our online manual with various tools, including
 your web browser, on our <a href="tips.php">quick reference tips</a> page.

 Note, that many languages are just under translation, and
 the untranslated parts are still in English. Also some translated
 parts might be outdated. The translation teams are open to
 contributions.
