<p>
There are a number of mailing lists devoted to talking about PHP and related
projects. <a href="mailing-lists.php">This list</a> describes them all, has
links to searchable archives for all of the lists, and explains how to
subscribe to the lists.
For day-to-day help and troubleshooting, the broader PHP community is very active in a few places:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Reddit:</strong> <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/">r/PHP</a> — look for the Weekly help threads that are pinned to the top for beginner and general questions.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Stack Overflow:</strong> browse or ask questions using the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/php">php tag</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<strong>Discord:</strong> there are many community-ran servers for chat-based help and discussion. Here are a couple of popular ones:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://phpc.chat/">phpc.chat</a></li>
<li><a href="https://discord.gg/php-developers-484326318851358720">PHP Developers</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

<strong>IRC:</strong> real-time chat at <a href="https://libera.chat/">Libera.Chat</a> in <strong>#phpc</strong>.

Historically, a number of mailing lists were devoted to talking about PHP and related projects. While
many are no longer active, you can still find their descriptions and archives on <a href="mailing-lists.php">this page</a>.

There was a PHP language NNTP newsgroup at comp.lang.php, and many of our support mailing
lists are also reflected onto our news server at <a href="news://news.php.net">news://news.php.net/</a>.
The server also has a read only web interface at
<a href="https://news-web.php.net/">https://news-web.php.net/</a>.
</p>

Mailing list messages are transfered to newsgroup posts and
newsgroup posts are sent to the mailing lists. Please note

sitting around doing nothing on various channels with php in their names.
