As a demonstration, this is new "top posted" text because the earlier posted conversation in the thread exists below the newly written reply text. [BAD]

[GOOD] In the PHP Internals mailing list, you are expected to only "bottom post". This rule is to allow easy human comprehension of the conversation. By always bottom posting, the discussion in the thread of emails always reads as oldest communication at the top and most recent at the bottom. Sepehr, many of your recent emails have violated this simple rule. Please permanently stop writing your replies with the historic content below your new reply. Also, I am not a voting member of this organization, but I can say that I've never had a professional project that required your proposed function nor do I recall ever encountering a Stack Overflow question which would benefit from your proposed function (and I have been a heavy curator of php&arrays tagged content for many years). That doesn't mean that your proposed function is worthless, I just haven't encountered a use case personally. If a PHP array needed a pagination-style search function, should perhaps the data structure be reconsidered? Is the data structure purpose-built or is the function overcoming a suboptimal data structure? mickmackusa
