Hi Internals,
I, like most everyone else subscribed to this list, am annoyed regularly
by the never ending
stream of CVS Account Requests. I know that we've done a lot to make it
very clear to these
users that they do not need CVS access, but I think we can do more.
Why don't we show off the awesome power of PHP with a bit of
interactivity? I propose that
a test be added to the account request page. Questions follow:
1. What's the meaning of the acronym PHP?
a) Personal Hypertext Processor b) PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor c)
Preemptive Hypertext Preprocessor
2. In which language was the original PHP toolset written?
a) C b) C++ c) PHP d) Perl e) JavaScript
3. What does +1 mean on the PHP mailing lists?
a) n+1 b) 'One more thing..' c) Approval
4. Do you need a CVS account to change the PHP distribution?
a) yes b) no
5. Do you need a CVS account to edit documentaton?
a) yes b) no
6. Is PHP the best web programming language ever?
a) yes b) no
7. What would the output of this snippet be?
$a = 'foobar'; $b = 'o'; echo strpos($a, $b);
a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) false
8. What's not new in PHP5?
a) classes b) private methods c) interfaces d) ZE2
9. Does PHP include XML support by default?
a) yes b) no c) if the user specifies it
10. Which is not a PHP subproject?
a) PEAR b) PECK c) PECL
So you may be thinking that these questions are excessively obscure....
okay. I
won't argue with that. Let's just get this up. 0:-)

PS: I am thinking about possibly making a webpage in PHP. Please give me
a CVS account.
