RE: [PHP] sloppiness & stupidity

While ranting might be good for the psyche there are trained psychiatric professionals that will readily listen to your rants. The PHP mailing list is not the place to vent. In every large community there will be those with less experience than others, and yes, many inexperienced programmers that will do whatever it takes to get things working, even if that means copying and pasting code they don't understand. Instead of ranting, a more useful approach would be to create a post that properly informs a user on how to populate a multiple option select box and eventually rank higher than any incorrect postings.

Subject: [PHP] sloppiness & stupidity

I'm sorry, guys, but I am really getting po'd.
The irresponsible sloppiness and stupidity is just getting to me.
In my quest for a way to populate a multiple option select box I have
run across so many errors that it's beyond belief... such nonsense as
"select for select or select="select" ( think this is right, but then
who knows?) & other variations; then theres in_array() that has
explanations about as clear as a cesspool - the way it's explained is
not at all clear, -- and somebody did an in_array($tring, "text") -
which is reversed... don't these idiots read what they are putting up on
the internet?
And some of you wonder why I ask stupid questions? Rare, indeed, is the
clear explanation or demonstration. I get the impression that there are
a lot of asholeys out there who learn the less than basic programming
and then forget that even a ignoramus as I can be looking for rather
complicated guidance. The Internet was a great promise, but god is is
overbloated with floating intellectual excrement.
Sorry, but ranting sometimes is good for the psyche. >:o
