Not that it will stop the stupid questions on the mailing list at all, but I added the text below to the general mailing list welcome message. I'm also considering writing a generic polite response to off-topic and FAQ questions that I will be able to send with a simple keystroke or two. Every time I see [OT] on the main mailing list, I want to scream. I'm also planning on spending some quality time with the documentation soon, beefing up and reorganizing the non-function-reference stuff, so if you have any suggestions, let me know (in particular, if you wrote any tutorials or articles available out there on the web that it would okay for me to incorporate, please let me know). Jim Added text: Welcome to the PHP3 User Mailing list! Before sending questions to the list, you should make sure you have done your homework by taking the following steps: 1. Read the FAQ at http://www.php.net/FAQ.php3 2. Read the relevant parts of the manual available at http://www.php.net/manual/. 3. Search the mailing list archives to see if your question or problem has already been discussed. You can use the search form at http://www.php.net/search.php3. 4. If your question is not about PHP, please do not post it to the list. While there a number of people that are knowledgeable about a wide range of subjects subscribed, the list already sees a great deal of on-topic traffic, and off-topic questions are inappropriate. -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
