章 45. Mailing lists

This section holds questions about how to get in touch with the PHP community. The best way is the mailing lists.

1. Are there any PHP mailing lists?
2. Are there any other communities?
3. Help! I can't seem to subscribe/unsubscribe to/from one of the mailing lists!
4. Is there an archive of the mailing lists anywhere?
5. What can I ask the mailing list?
6. What information should I include when posting to the mailing list?

Of course! There are many mailing lists for several subjects. A whole list of mailing lists can be found on our Support page.

The most general mailing list is php-general. To subscribe, send mail to php-general-subscribe@lists.php.net. You don't need to include anything special in the subject or body of the message. To unsubscribe, send mail to php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net.

You can also subscribe and unsubscribe using the web interface on our Support page.

Yes, you will find a list of archive sites on the Support page. The mailing list articles are also archived as news messages. You can access the news server at news://news.php.net/ with a news client. There is also an experimental web interface for the news server at http://news.php.net/
