Well, I think you are right. Take a look at this graph of the number of
messages posted starting in 1998. The stackoverflow.org effect?

Yikes. That's a littled bit worrying. Or does it really mean that
everyone is getting much better with PHP? :-)

My guess would be that it's just one of those things -- every list
I've ever been on goes through cycles of more and less activity.
Also, most of them wind down quite a lot in the North American summer
(the motorcycle forums being an exception).
They also tend to hit a peak around the end of the first/beginning of
the second year they exist, then taper off for a while, then come
back. I'd bet when the next major version of PHP is released we'll
see an upswing in traffic for a while as people try to figure it out.

Hi,
Just realize, that this is _not_ the internals list. :X There I only read.
Yes, I could send mails here :) We'll see
My guess: The ecosystem has grown. Now much stuff, that were former
(probably) asked here, is gone to more specific lists, like ZFs, Symfony,
and so on. Maybe it's even already solveable via Twitter ;)
Regards,
Sebastian

It would be nice if everyone had grown to be much better with PHP!
Though I think I've left behind now if that's the case... :-(

[snip] Is this list less busy than it used to be? Or is it just me? When
I used to be on this list ISTR sometimes being overwhelmed by email. [/snip]
One other factor is Stackoverflow - there is a tremendous amount of
traffic there for PHP related questions. I have been a subscriber to
this list for over a decade (wow) and have seen the traffic cycle up and
down but it does feel as if this is the least amount of traffic in a
while. I am unsure of how many are actually still subscribed.

I have no idea, but I assume ^^^ Jay is right. Even if/when I am the total
noob, why post here when I can build up SO rep points with which to leverage
the chance to later command more helpful feedback when i *really* need it..
simply by accepting an answer to my question.... let alone the boons that come
from making greater contributions there.
Plus so many of the most common Qs and As are already found by Googling -
countless blogs, etc.
I don't count the reduced traffic here as scary at all (I am a subscriber here
since 2008, I think). We (PHP users/programmers) are still here. ...in (I
assume) greater numbers (and skill) than ever... and armed with even
more/better tools than ever with which to zero in on just the skill level (or
topic) that we need/want to zero in on.

I'm a bit baffled by a notice message displayed:
Notice: Use of undefined constant QUERY_STRING - assumed 'QUERY_STRING' in
..
The line in question has
if (strlen($_SERVER[QUERY_STRING]) > 0) {
..
So I set a breakpoint on the line of the notice. The code executes to the
breakpoint, I inspect the $_SERVER[QUERY_STRING] and it's got the expected
value, it only executes that line once (never gets to that breakpoint
again), and yet I get the notice message. Can anyone give me an idea what's
going on here?
Cheers
Arno

I would guess that it's asking you to add quotes around QUERY_STRING...?

As in:
if (strlen($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) > 0) {
