PHPQuickReference is a widget to search, browse and display online PHP documentation. All you have to do is enter the term you want to know about and it will do the rest. The widget provides basic HTML formatting and intelligent hyperlink management. Links recognized as reference topics are automatically browsed by the widget itself. Other links are sent to the default browser.
But there's more: the widget now features autocompletion and hints. The widget suggests you the longest viable prefix for a given input string, and it's even able to suggest all function names that begin for

It's way easier to understand how it works trying by yourself than to explain. Once you'll try it you won't be able to do without it anymore!
Minimum system requirements are Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" or later, and an Internet connection (broadband recommended).

I haven't explored the User Notes feature, but it looks like it could be an interesting innovation. Otherwise, I don't see any reason to switch from the excellent PHPfi (search MacUpdate for "php function index"). It is free for non-profit users and cheap for everyone else.
PHPfi is snappier than PHPQuickReference, since it doesn't do any HTTP round trips. It displays a live updating list of matching terms, and it supports substring searches instead of requiring you to enter an exact match for the whole term like PHPQuickReference does. Substring searches are very useful when you don't know the exact spelling of something, or for doing a concept-based search (for example, entering something like "ascii" or "sql" to find matching function names).
I am not affiliated with the author of PHPfi.

- allow scrolling with a mouse's scroll wheel
- resizable (maybe just vertically, or maybe both along the x and y axes)
- user comments would be very nice... maybe make it a check-markable option? or within another pane? (that may be strange looking though)
Good job for a 0.1 though!

I would like to see the ability to link to the page as well though, since sometimes the user-comments on the PHP site are very handy.

Very straightforward, and easy to use.
I actually started coding something similar to this last night, because I really wanted one for my own use.. I must say though, that I was not very successful.
Lucky for me, you have written this awesome little widget. A couple things that could use some tweaking, however.
First, making it resizeable would be a VERY nice feature to have.
Second, I can't look up some functions. ob_start() and mysql_query() tell me there is no response from the server, yet include() and preg_match() do. Is there a reason for this?

If you could make it resizable it would be awesome!
