[edit] Making Requests

[edit] Guidelines

• Step 1: Search before Requesting
  • Do your best to make sure that your question hasn't already been answered in another page. If a page already exists regarding your error message, but does not answer your question or is not clear then use that page's discussion page to request clarification or more information.
• Step 2: Choose a title for your request
  • A good way to choose a title is to copy and paste your error message, but remove any details specific to your particular error. For example, Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /srv/www/public_html/foo.php on line 11 would become Parse_error_unexpected_T_STRING
  • When creating a page just enter your page name in the url, replacing spaces with underscores (_): /wiki/My_page_name
• Step 3: Writing your request
  • Make sure to include your complete error message (or messages if there are more than one).
  • You should post any relevant code in addition to line the error is on.
    • Avoid just copying and pasting your entire script if possible. If you feel it is necessary go ahead (it is better to err on the side of caution).
    • Make sure to mark the line that the error is on
    • Important! Please use source tags

      <source lang="php"></source>

      when posting code. You can find a list of supported languages here.
  • You may also need to post details about the environment your code is running on, such as operating system (windows, linux) web server (apache, IIS, lighttpd, etc), PHP version, and database (MySQL, sqlite, MSSQL, etc).
  • Important! Make sure to put your page in the requests category, as well as any other relevant categories. For example:

    [[Category:Requests]][[Category:PHP]]

• Step 4: Wait for a response
  • Make sure to monitor this discussion page in case someone requests more information or clarification.
