What does it matter whether it's it on php.net or on another site? if we can make php.net better - let's do it! there is no reason not to put up stuff simply because other people have some of that stuff on their site. we already do link a lot of those sites and i have no problem linking even more -but- if we can reduce the traffic on any of our lists, or flattern the php learning curve even more by giving more sample code and tutorials to people (don't forget: www.php.net _is_ the 1st site ppls do surf to) than i see _no_ reason whatsoever not to do so! so - if one of the teams (QA/DOC/..) want's to put up tutorials and/or sample code they should be welcome to do so! tc > > Zeev > -- > Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> > http://www.zend.com/ > > > -- > PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net -- Thies C.
