[mumumu]

Added Classes: entry for Random Extention 5.0 RFC related PR (php/php-src#8094).

[saundefined]

SplFileInfo::_bad_state_ex()

Didn't see any references in the documentation 👀

[cmb69]

@saundefined, SplFileInfo::_bad_state_ex() is undocumented so far.

[llaville]

SKF_AD_* constants available since 8.2.0alpha2 (see https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-8.2.0alpha2/ext/sockets/sockets.c#L575-L628) are missing in Sockets list

Come from commit php/php-src@d677cc1

[devnexen]

good call @llaville, I ll add them in the existing PR.

[kenjis]

The return value of DateTime::getLastErrors() may change.
See php/php-src#9431 (comment)

[TysonAndre]

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/strtolower-ascii PHP RFC: Locale-independent case conversion should be added for the functions in https://wiki.php.net/rfc/strtolower-ascii#proposal

[tstarling]

Can't edit description; I made #1933 for libxml_get_external_entity_loader().

[edit] Doc updates for my case conversion RFC are at #1934.

[KapitanOczywisty]

Modifier /n (NO_AUTO_CAPTURE) is missing in documentation: https://github.com/php/doc-en/blob/master/reference/pcre/pattern.modifiers.xml

[jonathanpoelen]

SKF_* constants are missing in migration page
https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration82.constants.php#migration82.constants.sockets, but documented https://www.php.net/manual/en/sockets.constants.php#constant.socket-skfadoff

[jonathanpoelen]

CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD constant is missing in documentation: https://www.php.net/manual/en/curl.constants.php

https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration82.new-features.php#migration82.new-features.curl

[ekinhbayar]

with PR #1911 already merged and looking at the latest curl docs, all of the curl constants listed on this tracker can be marked as completed. I did notice that while PR #1540 documented CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION, it is missing from the predefined constants page.

[Girgias]

Finally, all the items have been completed.

Thanks to everyone that was involved!
