Doing a reverse in-bound check
, it seems
that https://www.php.net at one time worked (per the cache), and Google
latched on to that. This is reinforced by the fact that many (all?) sub
domains are https covered: bugs, wiki, etc.

So, IMO the best SEO "fix" is to support https, because Google prefers
https sites 
and gives
a minor boost

to them.

Otherwise, there are a few approaches...
1. Wait.

 Google crawlers will eventually drop URL repeatedly throwing 404 and
similar.
2. Redirect.

 Setup a 301 redirect from https to http pages.
3. Canonicalize. 
 Hook the pages to Google Webmaster and set the canonical URL to
http://php.net

Re: [PHP-WEBMASTER] Migration php 5.2 vers php 5.4

[Bishop Bettini]

Yes, you can upgrade to 5.4 directly from 5.2!

You just need to ensure that your code is compatible with 5.3 changes and
5.4 changes.  The list of backward incompatible changes for these versions
are at:

* http://php.net/manual/en/migration53.incompatible.php
* http://php.net/manual/en/migration54.incompatible.php

A static analyzer like CodeSniffer will help in this process.

Thanks,

Re: [PHP-WEBMASTER] PHP version confusion

[Bishop Bettini]

Correct, PHP 7 is in beta, to be stabilized around Nov 2015.

Re: [PHP-WEBMASTER] Advertising partnership with Exponential || Tribal Fusion

  Hello,
 
  Nice to e-meet you. I'm Akshay and I represent Exponential's Ad Network
 - Tribal Fusion.

 I'm Kalle and I represent the Intergalatic PHP Project, at www.php.net.

  Can we connect sometime this week to discuss an advertising partnership
 to monetize your global ad inventory across display, mobile and video
 content.

 I can here by confirm that both exponential.com and tribalfusion.com
 are both running and using PHP, and if we take a basic Alexa ranking
 from your sites:

 Exponential.com: 79,541
 Tribalfusion.com: 1,120

 Compared to PHP's alexa ranking: 238

 Take in mind that PHP is installed on over 200.000.000 websites, and
 that report was from early 2013. So without bragging, I would say that
 we are quite capable of advertising ourselves.

  I look forward to your positive response. Click here for quick apply:
 http://goo.gl/7ZI26F
 I take it you found this address from the Contact page available at
 php.net: http://www.php.net/contact.php, I hope you don't mind I paste
 the first paragraph of that page:

 The maintainers of PHP.net and the mirror sites are definitely not
 interested in graphical banner or text ad placement deals.

 So thank you, but no thank you.


 ps. This lack of professionalism is logged at our news archieve
 available at: http://news.php.net/php.webmaster, thank you for your
 understanding and future cooperation.

[PHP-WEBMASTER] Changing @php.net email address alias

[Bishop Bettini]

Hello,

I hope this isn't a daft question, ... but I have been unable to find how
to update my @php.net information.

Specifically, I need to reroute bis...@php.net to another mailbox.

How to?

Thanks,
bishop

Re: [PHP-WEBMASTER] Changing @php.net email address alias

[Bishop Bettini]

Kalle  Phillip,

Thanks! Perfect.

Recommend adding that link to php.net/build-setup.php.  Not sure if 
that's a documentation team thing or a infrastructure thing.


Cheers,
bishop

Hello Bishop,

I suspect you’re right, or I’m unaware of a guide for @php.net
developers to help find their way around this hectic place, but
you can alter it here:
