Mailing Lists

There are many PHP-related mailing lists available on our server. Most of them are archived, and all of them are available as newsgroups on our news server. You can search some mailing lists right from this website from the search page or by using the search input box selecting the appropriate option on the top-right of every page.

There is an experimental web interface for the news server at http://news.php.net/, and there are also other archives provided by Marc.

Email:

You will be sent a confirmation mail at the address you wish to be subscribed or unsubscribed, and only added to the list after following the directions in that mail.

Warning: The PHP users mailing list gets close to 1500-2000 messages per month currently. Do the math. That translates to about 60 messages per day. If your mailbox can't handle this sort of traffic you might want to consider subscribing to the digest list instead (two messages per day), using the news server, or reading the mailing list using the archives.

Subscribe via Email

If you experience trouble subscribing via the form above, you may also subscribe by sending an email to the list server. To subscribe to any mailing list, send an email to listname+subscribe@lists.php.net (substituting the name of the list for listname—for example, php-general+subscribe@lists.php.net).

Mailing list options

All the mailing lists hosted at lists.php.net are managed using the mlmmj mailing list software. There are a variety of commands you may use to modify your subscription. For a full overview, send a message to listname+help@lists.php.net (as in, php-general+help@lists.php.net).

Subscribing

Unsubscribing

To unsubscribe from a mailing list, send an email to listname+unsubscribe@lists.php.net, where listname is the name of the list you wish to unsubscribe from. For example, to unsubscribe from the php-announce mailing list, send an email to php-announce+unsubscribe@lists.php.net.

Please note, you must send the email from the address you want to unsubscribe.
