<h3>Documentation</h3>
<P>
A good place to start is by skimming through the ever-growing <a
href="/FAQ.php3">FAQ</a>. Then have a look at the online manual and
other resources in the <a href="/docs.php3">documentation</a> section.
</P>
<h3>Reporting Bugs</h3>
<P>If you can't resolve your problem from the
available documentation or mailing list archives, and you think it might
be a bug, a <a href="http://bugs.php.net">Bug Database</a> has
been established for tracking bugs and ensuring that all reported bugs
get addressed. If you see a problem, please tell us so we can address it.
</P>
<h3>Mailing Lists</h3>
<P>
One of the best resources is a very friendly and helpful mailing
lists. There are a few PHP-related mailing lists available.
<p>The main list for PHP3 users is <b>php3@lists.php.net</b>. You may
subscribe to this list by sending a blank message to <a href="mailto:
php3-subscribe@lists.php.net">php3-subscribe@lists.php.net</a>.
<p>If you are interested in helping out with the
development of PHP3 you should join the developers'
list by sending an empty message to <a href="mailto:
php-dev-subscribe@lists.php.net">php-dev-subscribe@lists.php.net</a>.
<p>There is also a list for Italian PHP users, which you can subscribe
to by sending a message with the word "subscribe" in the subject to <a
href="mailto:php3-it-request@michel.enter.it">php3-it-request@michel.enter.it</a>.
<P>
Archives for some of these mailing lists can be found at:
</P>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://php.gotocity.com/mail/">PHP3 List at www.phpbuilder.com</a>
<li><a href = "http://www.progressive-comp.com/Lists/?l=php-dev#php-dev">Developers' List</a>
<li><a href="http://www.progressive-comp.com/Lists/?l=php3-general#php3-general">PHP3 List</a>
<li><a href="http://www.tryc.on.ca/archives/php3/php3.html">PHP3 List</a>
</ul>
<P>
<b>Warning:</b> 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, at <a
href="mailto:php3-digest-subscribe@lists.php.net">php3-digest-subscribe@lists.php.net</a>
(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 <a href="news://news.netimages.com/php3.general">news.netimages.com</a>.
<P>
You can search the mailing lists right from this website from <A HREF="/search.php3">the search page</A>
or by using the search button on the top-right of every page.
</P>
<h3>Sample Code</h3>
<P>
Looking for some more sample PHP scripts? Our <A
HREF="/links.php3">links page</A> page lists some archives of sample PHP code -
great places to find many example scripts and useful functions, organized for
your searching pleasure!
</P>
<h3>Getting the Latest Development Version</h3>
<P>
PHP is developed using CVS, so it's possible to obtain the latest
development release at any time. Further instructions can be found in
the web interface to the <a href="http://cvs.php.net">PHP 3.0
CVS tree</a>.
</P>
<h3>Instant Resource Center</h3>
<P>
Otherwise known as IRC or Internet Relay Chat. Here you can usually find
experienced PHP people sitting around doing nothing on the #php channel
on EFNet. If you don't know what IRC is you can learn more about it at
<a href="http://www.irchelp.org">www.irchelp.org</a>.
