If you feel the need to repost, wait at least one day. This *is* an international list and people *do* live, work and play in different timezones. And in any case reposting the exact same question will still annoy people no matter what the time interval. If you do repost try to bring something new to the table, some signs that you have been doing some work of your own whilst waiting for a response to the earlier post. Something like ... I've read the manual, chapter X, section Y and haven't found an answer to my problem; OR: I've googled for "abc xyz" and haven't found anything useful. OR: I've tried "this", "that" and "other" and I still couldn't get it to work, because I was expecting "something" and got "something else" instead. ... would hopefully convince people that you really did try to solve the problem on your own and only used the list as a last resort and wasn't just sitting on your backside, twiddling your thumbs and waiting for someone to do your work for you. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* Insufficient facts always invite danger. -- Spock, "Space Seed", stardate 3141.9 */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
