Re: Calling Curt Z, Curt Z to the white courtesy phone please

Also (not sure if all are missing or not): a) when looking for a specific function in PHP.net you can also use other word-separators and not only "_", such as: -, + and space (or %20), haven't heavy-tested this, so may as well be others b) if possible, look for a mirror prepending you country TLD as a subdomain, such as http://mx.php.net (it can also be more than one for the same country, e.g. http://mx2.php.net, and so on) c) when reading some parameters use "print_r(<source>)", such as

     print_r($_GET);

d) add a little text about some (repeatedly discussed) basic PHP directives such as register_globals and magic_quotes_gpc (and try not to rely on the first one and check for the later) e) when getting a (notice, warning or error) message send it along with you posting, as well as the the line that trigger that message (and about two lines before and after that line) f) Curt Zirzow wrote: [···]
