A request has been entered into the mailing list processing queue. You
should receive an email at shortly describing how to
complete your request.
There are many PHP-related mailing lists available. Most of them
have archives are available, and many are also 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/.
Note: When posting to mailing lists or newsgroups, please keep the following in mind:
Use a valid email address. Every new poster's email address is checked for validity through confirmation.
Send plain ASCII messages, no HTML-formatted emails please.
Turn on wordwrapping so your entire message doesn't show up on a single line.
No attachments please, just post a URL if you want someone to look at something.
Don't GPG/PGP sign your messages. If you want people to be able to send you encrypted email, stick your key-locator in your .sig
Don't hijack other peoples' threads. To post on a new topic, start a new message, don't reply and just change the subject.
Check the archives before posting a question, chances are it has already been asked and answered a few times.
When asking a question, don't just tell us, "it doesn't work". Tell us what you are trying to
accomplish, a short code snippet showing how you tried to solve it, what you expected to get and what you got instead.

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 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), 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.
