How often do people copy and paste from Stack Overflow?

Definitely. Looking at my browser history for stackoverflow + PHP, it seems to be things to do with PHP, such as how to prevent a referrer from being sent when users click a link on my website. That's of course not actually part of the PHP language, so it would seem like I'm rarely looking up how to use PHP APIs on stackoverflow. I've always found PHP docs to be the best of any language that I've used.

Though even for PHP StackOverflow is still pretty useful e.g:

https://www.google.com/search?q=string+contains+word+php

Note that php.net answer (official docs) is right below the stack overflow one.

I like the php manual. Its pretty simple and has good exmamples. They seem to used to have allowed/ allowed user comments, which used to be really old. (this one seems more up to date)
