Mailing Lists

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 news server. You can search some 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 is an experimental web interface for the news server at http://news.php.net/, and there are also other archives provided by Marc.

Mailing List Posting guidelines

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 word wrapping so your entire message doesn't show up on a single line.
• Be sure to click Reply-All to reply to list. Clicking Reply will email the author of the message privately.
• 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 signature
• 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.

And make sure you have read our Mailinglist Rules.
