Great. So you're implying that because the same questions are repeatedly asked and answered so often that the archives become huge it puts people off. So instead of searching the archives it is easier to ask the same questions again on the list? Creating even MORE messages for the archives? > And is true.

There is an official FAQ on www.php.net which is also included in the manual. So if you've missed it you've either never been on www.php.net or you've never looked at the manual. There are also many unofficial FAQs which can be found without too much trouble. > I'm not saying that the > people that maintains this archives does a bad job, they are doing an > excelent labor, and is an excelent reference.

Anybody intelligent enough to write to this list should be smart enough to know how to find information on the internet. Is it that hard to type 'php list archive' in google? > it might include too a link for this FAQ page (if exists). > If exists, does somebody know were is it? Can I ask, what research did you do to try and find the (or a) PHP FAQ? It seems to me that the only 'research' you did was to ask the list? -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* "I'll bet you $5 USD (and these days, that's about a gadzillion Euros) that this explains it." - Linus */
