Users' comments are important to figure out unusual behaviors, bugs, edge cases, to clarify documentation in general, and to add code examples. Of course, some of them will be incorrect and bad advice, that's why I think PHP docs should add up/down voting on each post.

More than anything, it creates the sense of community. You always know there are people reading and writing stuff about a specific method, and, most of the time, it's helpful.

Considering how bad and inconsistent PHP is, their documentation is amazing.
