Setting up the environment

The first thing you should do is get your environment setup to build the documentations locally;

Example #1 Getting the sources and installing the tools

# Login to the CVS server anonymously
$ cvs -d:pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net/repository login # The password is "phpfi", see http://php.net/anoncvs

# Checkout the XML documentation sources
$ cvs -d:pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net/repository co phpdoc

$ cd phpdoc

# Install the PHP based Docbook renderer (PhD)
$ pear channel-discover doc.php.net
$ pear install doc.php.net/phd-beta

# Configuring the XML and validate it
$ php configure.php

# Render the documentations
$ phd -d .manual.xml -t chunkedhtml

After running the phd command you should now have a html/ directory containing few thousends files. Feel free to click them and browse the docs in your browser just to make sure everything went fine.
