This was the first post I ever made to this forum back in 2002. What happened was that I bought a book which had some php code in it, but the code didn’t work. I searched google for a place to go in order to ask someone what the heck was going on, because I copied this code straight out of the book, character for character, but it just didn’t work.
It turns out that after the book was published, a change was made to PHP which turned register_globals off. Back then, Jason, the man who started this forum used to reply to a lot of the posts. A moderator mydimension helped me by letting me know that I needed to turn register_globals on, or by accessing the variable using a different method.
This just goes to show that we all start out as newbies, and that there will always be a time when one of us has a question, is there to answer a question, just needs advice, or wants to chat about something.
I have never met Jason, but he is definitely a very educated and intelligent individual. I want to thank him for creating this forum. He should be rewarded for providing us all with this great community free of charge. There are no advertisements; he isn’t trying to make money or anything like that.
Being able to come to this forum for free programming advice is a privilege. Many of the forum members are very well versed in HTML, PHP, Javascript, and many other languages. Jason has given us a centralized location to help others, ask for help, and just have fun.
From what I have seen, the worst problem on this website is that sometimes members forget to use the

Code: Select all
tags when they post code. If you think about it, that should make you laugh, because on most websites people just criticize each other, or get in fights about incredibly minor issues.
I urge all of you who can, to make a donation to Jason for his hard work and effort. The fact that this website has been here 24/7 for 2 years speaks for itself. Lets all give Jason a Christmas present. On the top right corner is the donation link, I urge all of you to click on it and throw him a bonus.
Just imagine if you had to pay someone to help you with your PHP issues. They would probably charge a consultation fee of $40 per hour. I have had hundreds of questions answered on here. Even if I didn’t ask the question, I was able to search for similar issues using the search engine.
