We (the PHP community) maintain the manual through registered CVS
accounts. As Jochem said, php.net is the official manual - there is
no official manual to buy, and no way for a company to document
everything about the language. This is because, believe it or not,
the language changes multiple times per day, with added functionality
all the time. The best a company could do is document everything on a
specific version.... but by the time that task is complete, the
version documented would be obsolete.
The comments are just posts by whomever feels like typing and
submitting. It's generally a "tips and tricks" sort of thing, and is
an excellent source, but an unofficial source.
