Basically, I think this forum is pretty self explanatory. Its for quick and simple snippets that people can copy and paste. Not really for complete classes or function libraries. http://www.phpclasses.org and http://www.evilwalrus.com are better suited for that.
This forum is also NOT for getting help with code. This is for completed and workable snippets of code often used.
The primary reason for adding was for something where I could store often used regular expressions, SQL databases, etc. Even better, other people can easily search through the forums for these code snippets, and also improve on them, and post a reply. So I think it will be useful.
On a side note: Do you guys think I am really pushing phpBB to be useful for more than just your average forum posts? Tutorials section, now a code snippet section? But considering that a forum is essentially (at the core) a "post and reply" setup, most anything can be use for it.

Hehe, yeah, like I said, the reason I did this was mostly because I got tired of looking for good regular expressions. I can right my own...but still. I mean, just think about something like the postal costs regex. What better way to get a list of postal code regex's then to post yours, and then ask the rest of the world to do it as well.
Phone numbers would be good to have, too.

I think it would be a good idea. I have just started my own little repository of code snippets, usually regex's because I can't stand to write my own.
I also think that many of the additions to the site since I joined have been quite helpful, if a little underused, ie tutorials.
now if there was only a way to kind of group things together fer easy reference.
