[aha moment] I finally get it. PHP developers are the smartest people on the planet and therefore we know and use everything. JavaScript, Java, C++, SQL, network management, Apache internals, women and even PHP. That is why people come on this list to ask questions totally unrelated to PHP even if they try to relate it to PHP by including the URL of a PHP page within the request. [/aha moment]
[dream_sequence] Beautiful Woman: So how do you use...."FFP" to make all of those pretty-looking website adresses? Me: Well actually, *P.H.P.* doesn't do it, but if you're running your website on Apache, you can use mod_rewrite and some regex pattern matching to forward your requests onto the appropriate page. And then you can parse any number of your server's global variables, like SCRIPT_URL, to handle the request. Beautiful Woman: That's hot. Let's make out! [/dream_sequence] [gratuitous_back_patting] This probably is a good opportunity to send out general thanks and acknowledgement at just how active and *helpful* this list is on a daily basis (sarcasm included). In contrast, I just subscribed to the RubyOnRails list to see what sort of chatter goes on within their community. In less than a week the list has already seen well over 300 messages, and the majority of them are never replied to. Sure, the RoR world is still in its infancy, but even so. And at least on our list, if you don't feel like answering a JavaScript question you don't have to; but on the RoR list you have little choice, since it's all tied together. Cheers to the PHP list. I love it here. [/gratuitous_back_patting] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
