What is cross posting?

when you post the same question to more than one mailing list (especially when done at the same time). alot of the people who regularly read/post on php-generals also watch other php related mailing lists (I for one am also subscribed to the Smarty list - actually I'm subscribed to nearly all the php lists :-P) as a sidenote - always try to show that you have researched your problem properly - chances are people will be _much_ more willing to help you (regardless of how simple the question might be for people who have been playing the web/php game for a while :-) and don't take it too personally if you get an occasional STFW or RTFM, consider it like medicine - it tastes bad but its good for you :-)

Hello! I'm using PHP and Smarty to try to build an array of arrays using the results from nested queries. I am just learning about nested arrays, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Amanda please don't cross-post. it's bad karma, ok your a girl (or woman - you choose :-) so we'll let you off this time (and the next, and the next) ... that's not to say girls are crap at IT/programming/etc it's just we don't have enough girls on this list ;-) (actually one of the php core devs is a girl and she's damn good AFAICT - Sara Golemon is her name - she wrote the 'blackmagic' runkit extension which deserves a round of applause all on it own!)
