<h3>What is PHP?</h3>

<h1>New comp.lang.php newsgroup started</h1>

<p>
<font class="newsdate">[09-Jul-2002]</font> comp.lang.php was created yesterday,
after a two and a half month long process started in April by Ian Fette resulted
in a <a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?q=comp.lang.php&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&sel
m=1025483879.39561%40isc.org&rnum=3">177-11 vote</a> in favor of the group.
The new group is already carried on most news servers, and should be carried
on almost all news servers in the world within the next few days.
</p>

<p>
The new group is important for a few reasons: Firstly, the old alt.* php
groups suffered from poor propagation - i.e. not all servers carried them,
and the community was split between multiple groups. This new group offers a
chance to unite the PHP-Usenet community. Secondly, most servers have longer
post-retention times for comp.* than alt.*. Finally, the creation of
comp.lang.php represents PHP's coming to acceptance and maturity. Virtually
all languages have a spot under the comp.lang.* hierarchy. Stop on by and
become a part of the community - comp.lang.php is a great place to get help
and to help others.
