<h1>Mailing Lists</h1>

<p>
 There are many PHP-related mailing lists available on our server.
 Most of them are archived, and all of them are available as newsgroups
 on our <a href="news://news.php.net">news server</a>. You can search
 some mailing lists right from this website from <a href="/search.php">the
 search page</a> or by using the search input box selecting the
 appropriate option on the top-right of every page.
</p>
<p>
 There is an experimental web interface for the news server at
 <a href="http://news.php.net/">http://news.php.net/</a>, and
 there are also other archives provided by
 <a href="http://marc.info/">Marc</a>.
</p>

<h2>Twitter</h2>
<p>
 The PHP team maintains an official PHP.net account on twitter,
 <a href="https://twitter.com/official_php">@official_php</a>, for those
 interested in following news and other announcements from the PHP project.
</p>

<h2>Mailing List Posting guidelines</h2>

<p>
 When posting to mailing lists or newsgroups, please keep the following in mind:
</p>

<ul>
 <li>
  Use a valid email address. Every new poster's email address
  is checked for validity through confirmation.
 </li>
 <li>
  Send plain ASCII messages, no HTML-formatted emails please.
 </li>
 <li>
  Turn on word wrapping so your entire message doesn't show up on
  a single line.
 </li>
 <li>
  Be sure to click <strong>Reply-All</strong> to reply to list. Clicking
  <strong>Reply</strong> will email the author of the message privately.
 </li>
 <li>
  No attachments please, just post a URL if you want someone to
  look at something.
 </li>
 <li>
  Don't GPG/PGP sign your messages. If you want people to be able
  to send you encrypted email, stick your key-locator in your signature
 </li>
 <li>
  Don't hijack other peoples' threads. To post on a new topic, start
  a new message, don't reply and just change the subject.
 </li>
 <li>
  Check the archives before posting a question, chances are it has
  already been asked and answered a few times.
 </li>
 <li>
  When asking a question, don't just tell us, &quot;it doesn't work&quot;.
  Tell us what you are trying to accomplish, a <strong>short</strong> code
  snippet showing how you tried to solve it, what you expected to get and
  what you got instead.
 </li>
</ul>
<p>
 And make sure you have read our
 <a href="https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/docs/mailinglist-rules.md">Mailinglist Rules</a>.

<p>
 You will be sent a confirmation mail at the address you wish to
 be subscribed or unsubscribed, and only added to the list after
 following the directions in that mail.
</p>

<p>
 <strong>Warning:</strong> The PHP users mailing list gets close to 1500-2000
 messages per month currently. Do the math. That translates to about 60
 messages per day. If your mailbox can't handle this sort of traffic you
 might want to consider subscribing to the digest list instead (two messages
 per day), using the news server, or reading the mailing list using the
 archives.
</p>

<h2>Subscribe via Email</h2>

<p>
 If you experience trouble subscribing via the form above, you may also
 subscribe by sending an email to the list server.
 To subscribe to any mailing list, send an email to
 <code><em>listname</em>-subscribe@lists.php.net</code>
 (substituting the name of the list for <code><em>listname</em></code>
 &mdash; for example, <code>php-general-subscribe@lists.php.net</code>).
</p>

<h2>Mailing list options</h2>

<p>
 All of the mailing lists hosted at <a
 href="http://lists.php.net/">lists.php.net</a> are managed using the <a
 href="http://untroubled.org/ezmlm/">ezmlm-idx</a> mailing list software.
 There are a variety of commands you can use to modify your subscription.
 Either send a message to <code>php-whatever-help@lists.php.net</code> (as in,
 <code>php-general-help@lists.php.net</code>) or you can view the commands for
 ezmlm <a href="http://untroubled.org/ezmlm/ezman/ezman1.html">here.</a>
