<h3 class="title">Description</h3>
<p class="para">
There is no function named <span class="function"><strong>main()</strong></span> except
in the PHP source. In PHP 4.3.0, a new type of error handling
in the PHP source (php_error_docref) was introduced. One feature
is to provide links to a manual page in PHP error messages when
the PHP directives <a href="errorfunc.configuration.html#ini.html-errors" class="link">html_errors</a>
(on by default) and <a href="errorfunc.configuration.html#ini.docref-root" class="link">docref_root</a>
(on by default until PHP 4.3.2) are set.
</p>
<p class="para">
Sometimes error messages refer to a manual page for the function
<span class="function"><strong>main()</strong></span> which is why this page exists. If you
discover such a reference, please
<a href="http://bugs.php.net/" class="link external">» file a bug report</a>, indicating
the PHP function caused the error that linked to <span class="function"><strong>main()</strong></span>
and it will be fixed and properly documented.
