i'm not a newbie. i program in php for a living. all i was saying was there are other people that will answer without sounding so arrogant. it just seems so unwelcoming. not in the spirit of things etc etc. i'm sure B (as we all were) was a newbie at some point.

RE: [PHP-DB] please, please can we stop this kind of thing ..... !
A newbies opinion.. I'm just getting into PHP and MySql stuff at the moment, i own 2 books on them, i have the manual on my Hard Drive, and its ok saying you should consult these, but sometimes they seem to be written in gibberish, and also the books only have in them what the author thought was useful, I wanted to do a really basic online searchable database of all the dvds i owned, i was looking thru PHP4, buy choi, kent, lea... you know the one, and couldn't understand at all.. I bought a new book, and it helped a lot more, however, i still wanted to clarify certian things, as it told me to do one thing, and i didn't want it to do that. People like getting information out of other people, its all well and good reading a book, or reading the manual, but if someone can say, this is how you should do it, and it will work, its a lot better than being ignored, or told to read the manual.. sometimes it just doesn't say it the way i want to, so i need help. Its a public mailing list this, if you can help, great, brilliant, thats what we need.. we don't need people to tell us not to do certian things, etc etc. If you don't want to help, don't, just ignore the e mail, and hit the delete button, there is no need to be arrogant or anything like that, cos its not called for...

He got his answer.. didn't he? If ppl would bother enough to READ the FINE manual these PHP related lists would have less then 70% of current traffic. i'm sure B (as we all were) was a newbie at some point. Yes. But being a newbie is a lame excuse for NOT searching the manual.

hmmm, one slipped through. There is a difference between really trying and just send a message to a list with a question which is in the manual and very easy to find too. If you don't understand the manual it's alright to ask. Would be stupid if you didn't. Take a look at www.devshed.com .. some great tutorials and general info can be found there. Have fun. B.

Guys, If the purpose of the first message which prompted this thread was to reduce bandwidth, then it gives the impression that its ok to waste bandwidth having a meaningless debate like this but not if it's to deal with a newbie's request. just my 2c George, an English newbie in Scotland Steve Brett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... sorry, my last post was aimed at B. van Ouwerkerk, not Marcel.
