print is a function, echo is a language construct. This means you can
use print in complex expressions such as:

$s ? print "true" : print "false";

Echo can take multiple arguments such as:

echo 'hello', ' ', 'world!';

where as print can only take one,

print('hello world!');

That's great...I guess. I've never had any need to use anything other
than echo. The way you describe it though print seems kinds
of...worthless.

That is true for this group, but not for all.
The fact that Zach didn't know that is completely forgivable.

A simple correction might be in place, instead of calling him a retard.

PS:
Zach, don't pay too much attention to assholish reactions like this.
In general comp.lang.php is a better place to post than the this one

This is Usenet, Kiddo, not some teddy bear fucking picnic surprise of

I know enough to tell the difference between a college flunkie and a

I can tell by the fact that he can't even get the most BASIC of basic
things to work in PHP...despite near limitless resources on the
web...despite his buying some PHP for dummies book that likely
explains every little minute step involved in setting everything up.

Here's a fun idea...go email every single high level programmer you
know...and ask them if they ever had trouble getting "print" to work.
I mean, let's be brutally honest here...it's like showing up in a
programming froup and asking, "How do I program "Hello World".

>You are overconfident and rude to Zach.

I'm rude to everyone (not to mention an uber arrogant bastard)...so I
don't see what the problem is. It's not as if this is some new
posting style. And if you don't like...hey, put yerself on some
blinders (filters) and shut yourself the fuck up. I for one will be
happy to rid as much fumbling stupidity from my glorious thread
offshoots as possible.

Nah, best to tear 'em down early, rip out the weak so only the strong

Yes, FOR ALL Usenet groups you DO NOT FUCKING TOP POST...EVER!

If you can't comprehend why that is, you're a dumbfuck of epic
proportions. Hell if you top post, you must be so fuckin stupid you
read books backwards, starting with the last page and working your way
down to page one. Honestly, thread continuity is not something that's
very difficult to gasp and the only REAL excuse for doing it is if you
haven't enough sense to evolve past the deficiency of Outhouse Express
(which treats Usenet posts like e-mails).

>The fact that Zach didn't know that is completely forgivable.

Hey I asked nice the first time...which is pretty generous considering
my character.

>A simple correction might be in place, instead of calling him a retard.

Where's the fun in that?

>Having a bad day Hatter?

Taking the Internet seriously? Perhaps if you lightened up and
learned to take it all in stride you could appreciate the verbal
conflagration of my word art...rather than using it as an excuse to
try and play victim (or encouraging someone else to use it in that
fashion).

>Erwin Moller

A greater number of posters does not necessarily equate to better

Zach.

Myspace.com community is in shock as Onideus Mad Hatter was arrested for
Cyber stalking and Homosexal acts with a minor.

Myspace.com officials and Federal agents were in shock this morning when
Onideus Mad Hatter was arrested at 2:30 am this morning for
cyberstalking underage children. Onideus Mad Hatter was arrested for
using web sites to post sexual content to lure unsuspecting children in.
The FBI was called in because Onideus Mad Hatter used the internet to
find the victims over the internet.

Police received the call from Top Myspace officials earlier this week
and they worked with the local poice dept. to set up the largest single
person arrest in the history of Myspace.com.

Myspace.com had deleted several sites that Onideus Mad Hatter posted
prior showing full nudity and sex they had had with children as young as
6 years old. When a concerned parent called Myspace.com they realized
they had problems. Tom was quoted as saying " You know this shit did not
happen before I sold myspace.com".

The Police had to wait until Hatter logged on. The officers sent a
message on the Myspace IM (Instant messenger) and as soon as Onideus Mad
Hatter responded the police officers broke in the door stormed the room
where the computer was and arrested Onideus Mad Hatter.

During a search of the residence Police officers discovered many
pornographic item`s mostly videos. Some of the names included Young
Lickalatpuss, Big Sausages for Small Buns, and If their grass on the
field shave it and play.

Officers ask Onideus Mad Hatter why they are so in to young kids. The
answer was most disturbing. Onideus Mad Hatter said "You know it's like
the best sex you can have. Watching the blood leak from the holes as you
penetrate them is the best. You know you are like Columbus. You are the
one to discover that new land".

Onideus Mad Hatter was released in just a couple hour's when their
parents posted the $150,000 bail.

If you feel there is an error in this please contact the editorial dept.
here . Thanks Jamal

Learn how to use a killfile. OMH is one of the worst Usenet trolls and
not worth to talk with. My newsreader automatically deletes all of his
postings. You can do the same - you won't miss anything.

Hi Hatter,

Despite the good advise Micha gave me (killfile you), I didn't give up
on you (yet).

Summarizing your 'reply':
So this is Usenet/Internet, and not some teddybear-blabla-party.
So it is better if I stop trying to civilized/helpfull, and scream/rant
around a little more, and try to be maximal insulting?

Right.
Thanks for sharing that with me.

If that text was some silly form of humor, allright, fine with me.
(But I would advise you to watch a few episodes of Blackadder, you
skills are in serious need of some polishing, insultingwise. Insulting
is an art, not just a random string of unfriendly words.)

Who cares where that link goes?
I don't.
Most probably it leads to a nice summary of your ideal of Usenet.

YOU know that difference?
A guy that comes in regularry in comp.lang.php with the most obvious
basic questions?
A guy that JUST showed us NOT to be aware of a language construct named
print in PHP, one of the most basic things that exist in PHP?
Let alone the difference between print and echo?
And YOU are the guy that will tell us the difference between a
programming artist and a flunkie.


Grow up a little and try to get this into your head:
What seems obvious for you today, was complex for you a year ago.
What you think is complex today, was complex for some of us 20 years
ago, and obvious today.

This is not a very hard lesson. Give it some thought please.

Did you give it some thought?

Why do you read on while I just asked you to give it some thought?
Oh I know, because you don't give a damn about anything I tell you.

But as I said: I didn't give up on you and have this remote hope you
will improve your silly behaviour, or at least stop buggering us.

And another thing that probably REALLY triggers your trolling:
The harder you piss on other people, the more obvious it is TO ALL OF US
you are a silly insecure kid badly in need of attention.
Positive or negative attention, as long as anybody gives you any, you
are happier than without.
Doesn't it feel really good I take the time to write all this to you?
Wow, I gave 5 minutes of my precious time to you.

Really, nobody thinks you are cool, smart, whatever.
You really make a fool of yourself, and are completely transparant to
anybody with any life experience.
Transparant you are, believe that.
Not cool. Not smart. Just a poor silly kid.

This is not ment insulting, just as a sincere observation.

....... <-- Feel free to rant here, telling me what a idiotic shit-eating
noobcase I am. That is how you always react.

Yes, despite limitless resources on the web, even YOU, the Mad Hatter
also wasn't aware of a language construct called print.

Ever tried that in Java?
If you never seen the language, that would keep you busy for some time.
Not every language has echo.

That is the problem.
The fact you think a wiseass remark, like the one above, impresses
anybody with an IQ over 60.

sigh....
Believe me, I REALLY SINCERELY appreciate a good insult. I really do.
You just don't have any talent at all.
Go work on it, come back to insult me anytime later if you want to test
your abilities.

You don't have to explain that to me Hatter.
I don't like topposting for the same obvious reasons.

In some groups however, topposting to totally acceptable. If you didn't
know that, shouting will not fix it.

Take the Internet seriously? Depends on where I am and who I write it to.

Play victim? Zach or me?
Whatever. I don't understand from what dark caves that crept out of your
head, but I would advise you to talk about it with somebody specialized
in the psyche. (Not me)

Your 'word art'?
Again: Go buy/download some Blackadder, and learn the art of insulting.
You are a total beginner in need of a correction. Here it is: You are
NOT insulting, you are only rude. Rudeness is the insult of the less
talented.

I would just like to correct myself, print is also a language construct
that *behaves* like a function.
