Most FAQed?

Post by patrikG »

Before we hit round 3 of the community awards, here's a little in-between.

If you've been visiting the forums for a while, you will have noticed that some questions crop up time and again, never tiring, never old.

My (not so frequently asked) question:
What do you think are the most frequently asked questions (most FAQed) on PHPDN?

It's the most asked question since PHP4.0.1 was released ;) (Find out yourself :p)



Other candidates:

- How do i alternating colours in a table?
- How do i retrieve data from a database?
- How do i use variable variables?
- How can i install php on iis?
- How can i run a script periodically?
- Why does php say: "mysql_connect function not recognized"?
- Why does php say: "cannot output headers after..." ?

yeah the cron job questions are pretty common, however i still would agree with d11 and say the "headers already sent" question is well used

Since the release of PHP4.1.0 somewhere in 2001... In the manual, it's in chapter 12, second item in the table of contents... Hinted enough :)

"Will you debug my code? Pleazzzzzzzzze!"

I'm really fond of the ones that post no code with the question.

Pagination of DB search results is another.
Also ob_flush related questions tend to pop up from time to time.

How do I secure X?

(Where X changes during the course of discussion from a simple login to a multi-site, multi-domain e-commerce site storing credit card information).
