What are some of the better tech forums for talking PHP and MySQL, asking questions, getting answers, sharing snippets of code, etc. ?

What editor do you use for coding ?

What version of PHP are you using now ?
What version of MySQL ?

Do you use PEAR ?
A templating system ?
ADODB ?

Just curious.

What editor do you use for coding ? pico! heh. too lazy to vi/vim it.

What version of PHP are you using now ? 4.1.2 (always newest)
What version of MySQL ? 3.23.49 (always newest)

Do you use PEAR ? no.
A templating system ? make my own.
ADODB ? no.

Just curious.

i have no clue if you were asking us to answer or not.

i'd say #php on efnet is a good place to talk in real-time with people. don't know any good boards for that shit... never really need it, if php.net can't answer my question, then i'll hit up irc, or figure it out on my own...

IRC seemed a lot slower to me, to get real answers anymore. Mostly you get a lot of lurkers anymore and no one wanting to talk code except the newbies. The regulars are all working on something of their own.

I use php.net a lot too if I want to remember or find a certain function, or get some ideas. Thats why I was wondering about the php boards.. for something to read when I'm bored.

The PHP Developer's Cookbook is awesome. Do you have that yet ? I got the 1st Edition but haven't picked up the 2nd Edition yet. I'm not sure if it'd be a waste of money or not, depending on whats been added to it. If you dont' have it yet, definitely pick it up!

I use UltraEdit if I'm working on a windows box, or Pico if I'm on the linux box.

I don't use ADODB yet, it seems pretty bloated for what I do. I'm thinking of choosing a template system and learning it for future work.

i have 6 php books i think. barely use any of them. it's fun for a one-time read to get ideas, and i hardly ever have to go back to them again because php.net has everything i need

oh well, at least my bookshelf looks cool.
