Warning: The PHP users mailing list gets close to 2500 messages per month currently. Do the math. That translates to about 80 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). You can also read the mailing list on the above web interface, or if you like reading things with a news reader, you can read it at news.netimages.com.
You can search the mailing lists right from this website from the search page or by using the search button on the top-right of every page.
The mailing lists hosted at lists.php.net are also gatewayed to newsgroups on the server at news.php.net.
You can both read and post to the mailing lists through the news interface.
There are also some mailing lists that have been set up by others in the community to host local discussions (particularly non-English discussions).
