PHP Women
PHPWomen is a user group specifically targeted toward the women in the PHP world. We do not wish to exclude men - rather to encourage women. They are not mutually exclusive after all.
Mission
Our aim is to provide a network of support and mentorship to women, help women become more involved with PHP, increase our numbers at conferences as speakers and attendees, and provide a “female friendly” atmosphere.
History
Starting out on October 8, 2006 as a call for the women of PHP to “stand up and be counted” by Ligaya Turmelle and Elizabeth Naramore, we have since formed an active community that will hopefully continue to grow and flourish for many years to come.
Why a Woman’s Site
The women in the PHP World tend to be few and scattered all over the world, rarely seeing other women at the various conferences, unconferences, user group meetings and social get togethers. By providing this site we hope that the women will not feel so alone and isolated. The men in the PHP World are a very welcoming and acceptable bunch, but sometimes it is nice to talk to another woman either for coding help or for support in the specific issues of being a woman in a male dominated field.

Re: need of GET when POST can handle!
Hi Lorna, MBriel,
Thanks for your replies.
Are there anymore explanations that we can give on these?
Last week I had an interview with Yahoo & this was 1 of their qsns.
I answerd it covering all these points but that person wanted me to explain something more!!!!!
So, out of curiosity I wish to know whether i missed something else in explanation? http://methoo.com
Re: PHP Women!
Thanks, Kathy. It is genuine. I am "recruiting," I guess, but I am totally new to it and only doing it for this one company. I'm trying to figure out how to go about it in the best way. Tips are greatly appreciated.
I am also trying to learn a little PHP and Elizabeth gave me some nice leads. I'm going to try learning a few different ways and see which is the easiest to understand/ least stressful. Again, tips are appreciated. I need to dig around more here in the forums...
Re: PHP Women!
Normally we restrict postings to genuine job opportunities - and delete those that are 'fishing expeditions' from recruiters.
I'm going to act on good faith on this one - your post seems legitimate and genuine - and will be guided by our member feedback.
Best of luck with your future projects,
Regards,
Kathy

I know there is a standard format for job postings but this is a bit of an oddball job posting.

Re: Ada Lovelace Day
I've actually managed to write one this year, I was just slightly too disorganised last year.
You can find it here though - http://loonyblurb.net/2010/03/ada-lovelace-day-2010/. It's about the lovely lornajane

Re: I wrote my first technical article!
Congratulations.
It's a clear article and I especially liked the emphasis you put on terminating a statement in the mysql client.
Can I just say that amanda.pro is an awesome domain name!

I wrote my first technical article!
Okay, so, it's not very ground breaking, it's just about creating a MySQL database and assigning the user, but it's my very very first technical article so it makes me happy.

The WordPress theme is really icky and I need to make a new one. But the words are all there.
Re: need of GET when POST can handle!
In Get are post there is initial, head,body 3 stages is available in that when we use get req what ever u send that will be visible in url path. it is not secure in some times. when we send data thru get req the data placed in initial stage and large amount of data also we cant send.
post method what ever data will send that not visible in url and placed in body stage this will be some advantage and also large amount of data can be send through post but not in get method.
