Description: ------------ The DB_DataObject documentation is confusing because the author sometimes uses the term "row" when he means to use "column". For instance, on the getLink() page of the docs, he uses the identifier "row" in the synopsis when he really should have used "column": mixed $DB_DataObject->getLink (string $row [, string $table [, string $key]]) He again refers to columns as rows in the description of that page: You may also use this with all parameters to specify, the row, and related table and row. Similar problems exist elsewhere in the documentation, including http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db-dataobject.intro-relations.php and http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db-dataobject.db-dataobject.getlinks.php I do have an understanding of the author's intentions now, but these errors made it take longer than it should have to reach it. :) Reproduce code: --------------- N/A Expected result: ---------------- N/A Actual result: -------------- N/A
