samples size chm php manual

Question

Please look at the image showing very small PHP code blocks:

I downloaded this CHM file from:

https://www.php.net/get/php_manual_en.chm/from/a/mirror

But I have a problem with the font size of sample code. My system is Windows 7/64bit.

How do I increase the font size?

Answer 1

I had the same problem in Windows 7. Installing Internet Explorer 11 solved the problem but there are still some little CSS incompatibilities and I think it is not unexpected in year 2023 while using old OS.

Answer 2

Follow the following steps: open PHP Manual CHM file than go to "Options->Internet Options->Click on General Tab->Click on Accessibility button->check the option for 'Ignore font sizes specified on webpages'->Than press OK button."

Follow the screenshot:

Now you can see your php manual examples in normal size like below:

Answer 3

I cannot reproduce the error shown. Downloading the file php_manual_en.chm from the link above shows everything correctly.

Internet Explorer settings have a direct effect on the display in CHM. Please clear the cache of Internet Explorer and / or reset all Internet options to the default settings (please be careful!) as a first step.

Another thought: The hh.dat file stores user-specific information on all the HTMLHelp files (*.CHM) on your system (position, favourite topics, search history, etc.), and may cause a error if it has somehow been corrupted.

Delete or rename the file hh.dat to reset all (!) CHM windows on your system to their default settings as a second step. Windows will create a new version of hh.dat when you next open any .chm file. You should find hh.dat at:

Windows 7: \Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\HTML Help

The PHP code blocks are formatted with css for syntax highlighting. So check if you special settings in your environment.
