RE: [PHP] new to the list

Hey Mick, of course its ok...we've all done it that way (cept a few whose names you'll learn soon enough ;-) ) a few suggestions: 1. www.php.net has most everything you could ask for...also, if you have a function you want to learn more about, type it like this: http://www.php.net/function_name (for example, http://php.net/date ) and you'll be taken directly to that page in the manual 2. 98% of your questions are already answered. isn't that great? search the mailing list at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&r=1&w=2 This'll be faster for you, save you any RTFM's, and in general reduce traffic for the list 3. don't be afraid to try things out yourself. if you want to know if something works, write a small script. take a second to think it through. you'll learn more that way than any other method. 4. www.hotscripts.com and many others have tons of php scripts...check them out to get a feel for what code really looks like best of luck, jack -----Original Message----- From: Mick Fitzpatrick [mailto:mick@night-owl.co.uk] Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 11:27 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] new to the list Hello I've just joined the list and sending this message as a test :-) I'm 'very' new to PHP and therefore here to learn ...
