Also (not sure if all are missing or not):
a) when looking for a specific function in PHP.net you can also use
other word-separators and not only "_", such as: -, + and space
(or %20), haven't heavy-tested this, so may as well be others
b) if possible, look for a mirror prepending you country TLD as a
subdomain, such as http://mx.php.net (it can also be more than
one for the same country, e.g. http://mx2.php.net, and so on)
c) when reading some parameters use "print_r(<source>)", such as
print_r($_GET);
d) add a little text about some (repeatedly discussed) basic PHP
directives such as register_globals and magic_quotes_gpc (and
try not to rely on the first one and check for the later)
e) when getting a (notice, warning or error) message send it along
with you posting, as well as the the line that trigger that
message (and about two lines before and after that line)
f)

It might need some rewording and a few tweeks here and there. It is
almost turning more into a php-general charter.
