[PHP] PHP FAQ (again) -- solutions?

2002-04-03 Thread Justin French
Hi all, This has been an interesting thread to read this morning. I think we are clouding a few issues here, so if I may, I'd like to do a bit of a summary. Whilst I think that a general, searchable, web based FAQ (list of frequently asked questions, with code snippet answers) contributed to

I'm getting a bit interested in this; here's how I suggest we proceed. First, we have to agree on the scope of the project. I suggest a small number of FAQs directed at specific subjects (rather than one 5000-line monster); my suggested breakdown follows below. Second, I suggest storing these pe
