<h1>Select mirror for redirection</h1>

<p>
 <span class="newsdate">[13-Aug-2003]</span>
 The www.php.net site tries to do the best to choose close mirrors based
 on all available data when redirecting users to mirror sites. Sometimes
 close mirror sites are unfortunately not the fastest. This is why we have
 added the mirror site selection possibility to <a href="/my.php">our My
 PHP.net service</a>, which enables users to select a specific mirror
 site for redirections.

<h1>URL Shortcuts and Site Search</h1>

<p>
 <span class="newsdate">[29-Jul-2003]</span>
 After many of our users requested a change in how
 <a href="/urlhowto.php">our URL shortcuts</a> behave when someone mistypes
 a shortcut, the default behaviour now is to look for a function name
 instead of performing a documentation search on Google. Those, who were
 satisfied with the Google search, can <a href="/my.php">set their
 preference at the My PHP.net page</a>. We are working on a better
 onsite search solution, Google is used temporarily to search our site.
