[snip] what is it wrong to ask questions on a php general mailing list where I know there are a bunch of people that can help? I do have a php book But it dosent show. Why can other people ask questions but I cant? [/snip] It is not that you cannot ask questions, it is that your questions show a basic lack of research. The answers to the questions you have asked are easily gotten from the manual, tutorials, and good books on PHP development.
