Hi All,
I am learning php an I am amazed how easy a PHP noob like me can acheive
so much in little time.
I am planning to take part in the community and noticed these 3 newsgroups :
-alt.comp.lang.p hp
-comp.lang.php
-alt.php
Do these groups differ in purpose or is it allowed to crosspost in all 3
of these?
My guess is that my newsserver gets access to these 3 ones but other people
maybe can read only 1.
Cheers,
Tom Pester

Sorry , but its the truth.
Well, you should follow netiquette (for good reasons already given by
others) but I don't think CROSSposting is against Usenet etiquette.
MULTIposting, on the other hand, stay away from that.

There (is|are) [at least one] other(s):
alt.php.sql
I've found comp.lang.php to be the most used and most useful group.
alt.php.sql is pretty good for MySQL (and other SQL database) PHP
questions. But generally you could prolly just stick to comp.lang.php.

NO NO NO!
Do NOT crosspost a message and then set followups, that's very rude.
What are people supposed to do, go subscribe to some group they
normally read just to follow one thread? If it wasn't topical in a
group it should never have been posted at all. If it is topical then
the group should remain on the distribution so that all can see the
replies.

I think that in general, I have to agree with that.
Could anyone say why it is advised often to set a follow-up when
crossposting?
My newsreader asks me specifically if I want to ignore the warning "no
follow-up has been set" when I reply to a crossposted message.

The proper way to use followups is when someone has posted an off-topic
message, let's say a Javascript question here. Then you can answer
crossposted to here and comp.lang.javas cript, with the followups set to
the latter. Then the person who goofed will see where the thread has
been redirected. Always be sure to flag the reply as having followups
set.

I am wanting to start powershell from inside a batch script and then to pass the powershell args from the batch, so from the batch I can use the name of the compiled csharp app without having to include the "call" command.
Something like "Compiled Csharp app.exe" "PowerShell Args" etc.....

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
