Nice script.

If you are a Windows user who has Microsoft Desktop Search installed, an alternative way to access php help would be to create a shortcut by typing the following in the Desktop Search box:
@phpm , http://www.php.net/manual-lookup.php?function=w

Then you should be able to type in the following to get help:
phpm substring

Include it in VIM, using Tobias Schlitt’s config[1]:

" Map -H to search phpm for the function name currently under the cursor (insert mode only)
inoremap :!phpm =expand("")

Somewhere my wget is configured to send an Accept-Language header for german. First the german umlauts were not displayed correctly on my ISO-8859-1 terminal, second I don't rely on the translated manual pages as there are sometimes outdated. So I changed line 57 to explicitly ask for english pages: RESPONSE=$(wget --header='Accept-Language: en' --quiet -O - $HREF) Make sure to run phpm --clear after changing!

This is the shell-script of the year, and if you are a LAMP developer, the script of the century! Well done Troels, great use of sed :)
