Im pretty sure i speak for most people out there. Espeacially people trying to help out the newbies.

Im starting to see a lot lately many new php'ers coming to the forum and not even using vbcode. Yea you maybe lazy you may just have no idea. Read about most of the Vbcode in the Help.

Now for what the point of this is for.

I see many people requiring help, but when they show there code its like this

if($help == no)
{
echo "dont help";
}
else
{
echo "blah";
}

Now that aint bad. But imagine that 10x longer and spread out a lot more than people trying to help you are gonna get lost.

I suggest using the [php ][/php ] tag. Now you dont have gaps in it at all..

And when been shown in the thread should display like this

if($help == no)
{
echo "dont help";
}
else
{
echo "blah";
}

So can all newbies help the people helping them by just adding the [php ][/php ] tag in you can click one of the buttons above the textbox its that easy.

If you still dont understand what im talking about here is the link again to the bbcode help.

i find the php tag thing a bit of a bind sometimes - especially when there's a really long line in there which makes the page about 10 times wider than my screen is, and i have to scroll to get to things like the "submit" button. Is there some way that can be fixed by the powers that be? I mind that a heck of a lot more than i mind scrolling down to read people's stuff.

Also, and not being nasty in any way, but your PHP bit actually takes up more space than the bit above it thanks to the extra lines that have been put in at the bottom! but yes, more people should use them.

I think it is a good point to use the codes, and I'll try to remember that.

But I was a bit taken aback by the single line field you'll have to paste the code into in the prompt 😃

Well, it's just as easy to hand-code the vB-tags perhaps?

<?PHP
for($i=0;$i<10000;$i++) {
echo "I'll never forget the vBcode again!<br>";
}
?>
