Re: [PHP] Suggestions on FAQ application?
Why re-invent what is already written? I'm well aware that it's easy to write but there may be something out there already that suits my needs and has some features that I hadn't thought of. If you don't have a suggestion on a package please spare me the rude replies which seem to run rampant on here lately... Though I agree the reply given was rather crude, and I think also unnecessary, so was you question. It is rather a waste of the time of the list's membership to spend their time doing searches for you to find code packages. It is my impression, at least, that this list exists to provide assistance on a somewhat higher level of issues. Your question was worded in such a way that it wasn't very different from this: Hi every one, I want to create thumbnail of a photo stored in MySQL table online. Best Wishes, S. Naqashzade And that is not something I care to bother with. I spent the effort of typing php thumbnail mysql photo into Google. And as a surprise to some, I had to refine the search once to get that, and what you're looking for you'll sometimes have to scroll down for or *gasp* even head to the next 10 results. I suggest going to Google's directory: http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/PHP/Scripts/ try doing a search for FAQ. Since I really don't know what it is you want, I can't help much more than that. The basic idea is spend some time searching, look inside of well-known script sites, dig through the search enginges... You might also be able to strip the FAQ section out of PHP Nuke, but that's a confusing mess in its own right. Forgive my bitterness, but Sometimes you end up looking at a question and going Why am I wasting my time on this? This person expects me to do everything but make their site. Don't straight-up ask for info on questions that are covered EVERY WEEK, and do look at more than just one site. -Jeff SIG: HUP -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Maybe y'all should take your flame war off list? Just a friendly little suggestion. Jeffrey B. Ferland wrote: Why re-invent what is already written?

Re: [PHP] Suggestions on FAQ application?
I don't believe a FAQ application actualy has been written yet... I haven't seen one on Hotscript.com or PHP Resources. But if you have found one, please let me know as i'm interested in one as well. - Daniel TheHeadSage Spain Founder of Voidsoft.

RE: [PHP] Suggestions on FAQ application?
I would suggest you try one of the following; faqomatic http://faqomatic.sourceforge.net/, which is actually perl based or phpFAQ http://product.cybergl.co.id/dev/version.php?cmd=browseproduct_id=15 or FAQbot http://mason.gmu.edu/~bhroleno/FB.html or knowhow^2 http://www.linuxclass.de/kh2/ or piFAQ http://pifaq.sourceforge.net/ or StandardFAQ http://www.stampede.org/~drax/StandardFAQ/ or PHPWiki (http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/) (Not a faq system, but it would do the job) when hotscripts fails, try sourceforge. when sourceforge fails, try freshmeat. -Original Message- From: Jeff Lewis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, 11 January 2003 1:52 PM To: Timothy Hitchens (HiTCHO); 'php-gen' Subject: Re: [PHP] Suggestions on FAQ application?

Are you looking for something new, or something which suits your needs? Not trying to flame here, but I didn't understand the sentence. I think what the other poster was getting at is that if you searched and can't find anything that meets your needs, do go ahead and write your own tool. Yes, re-inventing the wheel isn't the best idea, but your 'wheel' (what you want the app to be) doesn't exist, based on your own searching. If you'd searched Lycos for 30 seconds, I'd say search again. If you've exhausted HotScripts, I'd say you've gone thru the majority of known systems - certainly systems that had authors who were interested enough to bother to register them in the first place.
