We don't use any framework no, and won't be using any either. > Secondly, I have noticed that a lot of the information displayed on > people.php.net is taken from GitHub and master > (https://master.php.net/fetch/user.php?username=mikemike), the latter > requiring a token.

Didn't see the need to duplicate all the info on master.. But the username guessing logic wasn't the best one in the world so I suspect much of it has been removed by now. It would make sense to ask for peoples usernames (on master) on these things so we can pull the information about the right people correctly. As for getting the token we currently use, I'd prefer not to hand it out. You should be able to get one yourself quite easily. -Hannes -- PHP Webmaster List Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
