Hello,
We just started playing Pathfinder and I have a beginner question.
The warrior bonus feat is stated on the SRD site as "Any feat designated as a combat feat can be selected by fighters and gunslingers. Characters of other classes can take these feats as long as they meet the prerequisites." The PRD and book read similair.
May player is reading that as he can take any feat listed on the combat feat list no matter what the prerequisites are. For example, taking the whirlwind feat as his second level bonus feat.
2nd Question:
If my fighter trips a character with a reach weapon and knocks him prone. When they stand they take a move action that provokes of opportunity. Does he still have the -4 from prone?

The SRD is a third party site. it is very good but sometime misleading.
The text in the PRD is:
Prerequisites
Some feats have prerequisites. Your character must have the indicated ability score, class feature, feat, skill, base attack bonus, or other quality designated in order to select or use that feat. A character can gain a feat at the same level at which he gains the prerequisite.
A character can't use a feat if he loses a prerequisite, but he does not lose the feat itself. If, at a later time, he regains the lost prerequisite, he immediately regains full use of the feat that prerequisite enables.
...
Combat Feats
Any feat designated as a combat feat can be selected as a fighter's bonus feat. This designation does not restrict characters of other classes from selecting these feats, assuming that they meet the prerequisites.
.
As you can see the SRD keep the basic meaning but change the text slightly.
The meaning of the above pieces is that the fighter and gunslinger can take a combat feat as a bonus feat but they must have the needed prerequisites ad that other class aren't barred from taking combat feats. If a class can waive some feat prerequisite it is clearly explained in that class rules; an example are the Rangers that can waive the prerequisite for the feats listed in their chosen combat style.
