<h1>Mailing Lists</h1>
<p>
There are many PHP-related mailing lists available on our server.
Most of them are archived, and all of them are available as newsgroups
on our <a href="news://news.php.net">news server</a>. The archives
are searchable. There is an experimental web interface for the news
server at <a href="http://news.php.net/">http://news.php.net/</a>, and
there are also other archives provided by
<a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/">Marc</a>,
<a href="http://www.phparch.com/mailinglists">php|architect</a>,
<a href="http://www.phpbuilder.com/mail/">PHPBuilder</a>
and <a href="http://zend.com/lists.php">Zend</a>.
</p>
<p>
If you have trouble getting off from any of our mailing lists, or
would like to unsubscribe from a mailing list not listed here, we
have more information for you on <a href="/unsub.php">the
unsubscription page</a>.
</p>
<p>
Some PHP.net subsites have their own project specific pages about mailing
lists. You can find the <a href="http://pear.php.net/support/lists.php">PEAR
mailing lists</a>, the <a href="http://pecl.php.net/support.php">PECL
mailing lists</a>, the <a href="http://gtk.php.net/resources.php">PHP-GTK
mailing lists</a>, and the
<a href="http://smarty.php.net/resources.php?category=7">Smarty mailing
lists</a> on their own pages.
</p>
<p>
<b>Note:</b> When posting to mailing lists or newsgroups, please keep
the following in mind:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Use a valid email address. Every new poster's email address
is checked for validity through confirmation.
</li>
<li>
Send plain ASCII messages, no HTML-formatted emails please.
</li>
<li>
Turn on wordwrapping so your entire message doesn't show up on
a single line.
</li>
<li>
No attachments please, just post a URL if you want someone to
look at something.
</li>
<li>
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 signature
</li>
<li>
Don't hijack other peoples' threads. To post on a new topic, start
a new message, don't reply and just change the subject.
</li>
<li>
Check the archives before posting a question, chances are it has
already been asked and answered a few times.
</li>
<li>
When asking a question, don't just tell us, &quot;it doesn't work&quot;.
Tell us what you are trying to accomplish, a <strong>short</strong> code
snippet showing how you tried to solve it, what you expected to get and
what you got instead.
</li>

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.
</p>
<p>
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

<strong>Warning:</strong> The PHP users mailing list gets close to 4000
messages per month currently. Do the math. That translates to about 130
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.
</p>
<p>
You can search the main mailing lists right from this website from <a
href="/search.php">the search page</a> or by using the search input box
selecting the appropriate option on the top-right of every page.
