Re: I know there's a lot of traffic already...

Don't fret over what others say, nobody has time to care what others think of them but usually it's just misscommunication anyway. Like in this case. One may consider Google for searching too. Google searches everything and pretty much rules, for php specific questions as well. Searching this mailing list is nice too but keep it simple -- *think keywords*. Other options do exist : http://php.faqts.com/ ( be sure to try this ) http://php.net/search.php ( various choices ) http://www.google.com/ ( UberMetaSearch ) It's not a matter of "RTFM" but it's "RTFM and here's how and check other sources as well." The key is "what to search for" as garbage in, garbage out. *keywords and Keyterms* are to be used. After awhile one understands better how to use the manual as a useful reference. Reading/skimming through the whole thing at least once usually helps this process of "think and find." Choose your tools and use them wisely. And lastly, we (humans) tend to forget that repeat questions are asked by new humans during each instance yet our brain says "damn it, this has been asked 10x already!!" This is common. This is human nature. This should be kept in mind. This is a rant and is only partially related to you, Carsten, so keep that in mind. Regards, Philip --.sig [ Want to write Good code?
