For a German company, providing services to German speaking countries, putting the German version above the English version seems a reasonable reason. I believe Derick has sent an email message to noc@ and systems@, so hopefully something will be adjusted. cheers Dan Ack -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php

>a misconfiguration
That's my guess too.
I Hope the server configuration people get the message.

I'm not sure there is an English version at all - I'm not accessing it
from a german IP address (a Norwegain one - actually multiple
Norwegian ones), and my Accept-Language doesn't mention German, and it
specifically requests English, and I'm not accessing the german
de.php.net, so if an English version existed, there would be no reason
for it to give me a German version, so my best guess is that it's just
hardcoded in German.
(tl;dr: if an English version exists, I have no idea why I was served
the German version.)

I'd never seen it before, but saw it just now when looking for mirror
information. My guess is that either there's a misconfiguration somewhere
making it far too sensitive, or there's something like a DoS attack being
defended against.
>Also I'm not sure why it's in German
I think the page is just hard-coded in German and English because the company
hosting the mirror ("MyraCloud") are based in Germany, and haven't added any
other translations.

[PHP-DEV] Please remove the Sicherheitsüberprüfung Security captcha from php.net
multiple times per week now, i get this Security Sicherheitsüberprüfung captcha page when visiting php.net and it's really annoying to solve that captcha multiple times per week. "PHP is that annoying language where you have to solve captchas just to read the documentation" is not the experience we want to give users, and as ChatGPT puts it >>lead to negative perceptions of PHP as a language, as well as decreased >>productivity among developers who would have to spend extra time overcoming >>the verification obstacles to access the documentation. It would also make it >>more difficult for new developers to learn PHP, which could ultimately have a >>negative impact on the growth and adoption of the language fwiw for those of you lucky enough to not get the captcha page, it looks like https://i.imgur.com/l9YbIz5.png Also I'm not sure why its in German - i dont speak German, and my Accept-Lanaguage header says Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9,nb;q=0.8,no;q=0.7,vi;q=0.6 (where en-US is English, and nb is Norwegian Bokmål, and no is Norwegain, and vi is Vietnamese. German isn't even on the accept-language list!) -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
