There should be no reason for so many posts with subjects, "Someone, please help me!". Doesn't that tell you that the so-called MANUALl sucks?

I am in the process of looking for the real programming documentation that was created when the language was originally written. When I find it, I'm sure it will prove to be useful information and I will use it as reference to produce A REAL PHP MANUAL.

Kill your hyper-inflated ego and get down to earth where the folks are attempting to earnestly and honestly create useful php scripts (and with the proper help will be shortly successful). It is quite obvious to a person of my caliber and experience, by viewing the posts at this site, that your MANUAL sucks!

BTW, forgive any direct reference within this post to your "so-called" MANUAL - if any - that doesn't include the prefix "so-called". Look for a REAL PHP MANUAL in your search paths, sometime in the future.

ALL YOU FOLKS OUT THERE WHO ARE NEEDING TRIED AND TRUE ANSWERS TO YOUR PHP QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS WILL FIND NOTHING BUT TRIED AND TRUE INSTRUCTION TUTORIALS THAT WILL BUILD FROM THE BASIC TO THE COMPLEX PHP SCRIPT. So jot this down someplace where you will be able to refer to it. Sometime in the future, you will do an Internet search for "A real Php Manual" and be able to become an accomplished php script author without the unnecessary frustration, egotistical connotations, and so-called answers to your questions.

Those of you who are interested in having access to a "Real" Php Manual send me an email. I will store your email and reply when a "real" Php Manual is available. This is the email address you should use: 3rrobinson@sbcglobal.net.

I hope you guys will get your sh?t together - or get out of the business of frustrating your visitors and users!

NO THANKS TO OMAHA, THANKS A LOT!

This statement directly to those who create and maintain your "so-called" MANUAL: I sincerely hope that you will view this as a challenge to reproduce your "so-called" MANUAL in a manner in which it will reflect well considered layout and will be built by using third person (manual user being the third person)
communication skills, which BTW, is a horrific downfall of the human race, (no insulting connotations intended to anyone) and communication skill level statistics verify this.

I wish you all true success in your endeavors. Remember, in all communication endeavors, for communication to be successful, you must, to the best of your ability, attempt to determine the level of understanding of the language used and the education level as it applies to the subject. Then expect and respect comebacks such as "Did I understand you to say...?" Then, re-evaluate and adjust your pre-determinations.

Responsibility is NOT a bad word! And it's not necessarily a good word. It can be a negative, as in this instance, when one does not respond according to his abilities. It can be a positive when one responds according to his abilities. Remember to use it in its positive form. Your response will reflect your ability and gain you honor and respect and will inherently enhance your personal growth and value.

Again, with all sincerity, I wish you good luck and good communication!

    One principle of good communication: if you have something to say to someone, they're more likely to hear it if you actually say it to them, instead of just saying it somewhere at random and hoping they'll pick it up.

    Personally, I think one of the reasons why so many people ask for help in these forums is that so many aren't actually programmers and haven't got a clue as to how to go about it. No number of manuals will help such people.

      Perhaps the "so-called" programmer that started this thread would have been more at home in the newbie forum, along with half the posters in this forum. Do questions like "How do I save a file with a php extention?" really belong here?

      I've lost count of how many times I've answered questions by giving a manual reference (other forums). I've learned more from the manual than anywhere else, and use it as reference practically daily.

      Want to learn PHP? Read a book, and use the manual.
