There are many PHP-related mailing lists available on our server. Most of them are archived, and all of them are available as newsgroups on our news server. The archives are searchable. There is an experimental web interface for the news server at http://news.php.net/, and there are also other archives provided by Marc, php|architect, PHPBuilder and Zend.
If you have trouble getting off from any of our mailing lists, or would like to unsubscribe from a mailing list not listed here, we have more information for you on the unsubscription page.
Some PHP.net subsites have their own project specific pages about mailing lists. You can find the PEAR mailing lists, the PECL mailing lists, the PHP-GTK mailing lists, and the Smarty mailing lists on their own pages.
Note: When posting to mailing lists or newsgroups, please keep the following in mind:
You will be sent a confirmation mail at the address you wish to be subscribed or unsubscribed, and only added to the list after following the directions in that mail.
There are a variety of commands you can use to modify your subscription. Either send a message to php-whatever-help@lists.php.net (as in, php-general-help@lists.php.net) or you can view the commands for ezmlm here.
Warning: The PHP users mailing list gets close to 4000 messages per month currently. Do the math. That translates to about 130 messages per day. If your mailbox can't handle this sort of traffic you might want to consider subscribing to the digest list instead (two messages per day), using the news server, or reading the mailing list using the archives.
You can search the main mailing lists right from this website from the search page or by using the search input box selecting the appropriate option on the top-right of every page.
There are also some mailing lists and newsgroups for PHP users that have been set up by others in the community to host local (particularly non-English) discussions.
