From:             rob at OhReally dot nl
Operating system: php.net
PHP version:      Irrelevant
PHP Bug Type:     Documentation problem
Bug description:  XML with functions and versions

Description:
------------
The documentation at php.net lists the PHP version in which a function was
introduced, and when a function became deprecated.
It would be cool if an XML (or other format) would be included in the site
which states only the functions and the version numbers. This would enable
me to write a script to test a website for compliance.

My development server always runs the latest stable version of all
software; I upgrade it once a week. However, customers' providers are not
always as eager to upgrade. Having the XML described above would enable me
to just develop the website as I see fit, then run a script to check all
functions for compatibility, and then add some 'if (!function_exists())'
alternatives where needed.

(Even cooler would be a function 'behave_as_version()' included in PHP
itself, of course, but this would be considerably more work, I guess.)

Reproduce code:
---------------

Expected result:
----------------
<phpfunctions>
 <function>
  <name>array_diff</name>
  <introduced>4.0.1</name>
  <broken>4.0.4</broken>
 </function>
 <function>
  <name>array_map</name>
  <introduced>4.0.6</introduced>
 </function>
 <function>
  <name>trim</name>
  <introduced>3.x.x</introduced>
  <changelog>
   <change>
    <version>4.1.0</version>
    <description>The optional charlist parameter was added.</description>
   </change>
  </changelog>
 </function>
 <function>
  <name>some_function</name>
  <introduced>6.2.3</introduced>
  <deprecated>8.5.0</deprecated>
 </function>
</phpfunctions>

Actual result:
--------------
