OK, I had a hard time understanding that one, but I'll have a shot
anyhow.

If my interpretation of this question is correct, the following may
prove useful:

+------------------
| The fact that a function is listed in the manual doesn't necessarily

| available providing the required libraries are installed (and PHP was

+------------------

If I'm way of the mark, maybe this end of the stick is more correct:

+------------------
| If you're reading through the subject "MySQL" in the PHP Manual, you 
| will have access to all the functions in the list, assuming you've 
| compiled PHP with support for MySQL. Note that in some subjects, not
| all functions are available as your version of PHP may either not 
| support it or superceed it.
