I agree completely - spend time trying to work through it yourself - it's
not fair on those who have more knowledge than others to be constantly
bugged by people who are starting out.
When I started using PHP after Perl, I got some sample scripts and worked it
from there. I've found that most things can be worked from the manual (or
searching functions on-line @ php.net and reading through the
user-comments), usually does the trick. I've used this list in the past when
I can't get my head round things after reading the manual, doing a quick
search in google.
I think that as long as people don't use this list as "first resource" then
everything will be fine.
