Not too shure about an OS tutorial, especially on Linux.

With the different types of distros out there, ya will find a tutorial concentrating on one distribution. As such its installation procedures.
And Believe me some installations of Linux itself can painful. (Not to mention if the network connectivity isnt set up, how to get help).

ya may consider using a small linux distro (DSL) or a virtual PC (VirtualBox) to get ya started in linux, cuz a simple setup and accessibility to help is no doubt a requirement for new users.

Can we maybe get some operating system tutorials? Like setting up apache on linux or email servers, etc.

I believe thorpe is working on something like that right now.  Don't have an ETA or anything.
Ok, thanks :D

Bitwise user permissions.

I've saw a post in reply to a topic that had an example, but couldn't find it again (searched: bitwise)..  But it would be nice to see a small implementation of user permissions for actions using a bitwise function check etc.

Hmm... I had a tutorial about that on the old site. Maybe I can dig it out again.

I put a bitwise operator thread in the code repository a long while back.  Pretty informative.
Although it isn't a tutorial.

Here it is

Yes, that was the one I was looking for; thanks zanus.

Also, I remember someone said they were writing an Ajax Live Chat tutorial (using sockets).. so that would be another suggestion.

If no one else wants to take this one up, I'll do it.  I've made quite a few posts on bitwise user permissions actually, so I think I could handle it.  After I finish this damn regex tutorial though (part 2 is ALMOST done; it should be done before Wednesday hopefully).

If you ask for a banana, would you expect someone to hand you an orange? Or a fork?  No you wouldn't, because you asked for a banana, and you expect them to understand that a banana is not an orange or a fork.  It's the same principle.

Here's an idea for a short article and I know it would help a lot of new people, have an article listing all possible errors that PHP may throw at you and explain how to fix them, or what to look for. I think a lot of people would like that and you may not get as many questions about the errors.

We have tutorials about things and people still ask.  We have a forum dedicated to FAQs, and yet people still ask.  We have stickies all over the place, some even in BIG BOLD WORDS and yet... people still ask.  I think that even if we were to have a popup on every post submission, saying "DID YOU DO A SEARCH? READ THE STICKIES???" people would still ask.

Yeah, those kind of people don't care. They just want their super urgent emergency issue resolved ASAP. These users typically never come back unless they had their issue resolved satisfactorily and now face a new one. We only have 109 people (0.1%) who have made over 1,000 posts for instance. For comparison, 72,823 people (98%) of our users made less than 100 posts.

I noticed these figures the other day while I was wondering may way through all the forum stats. Hell of a lot of monitoring stats built in, interesting to look at, and surprising on some levels.

I like starting my code with session_start();

Code: [Select]
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);

You mean like this? http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/debugging-a-beginners-guide
Yes but as many errors as possible, also to Crayon Violent, I agree. I appoligize for not being able to contribute much but I try my best. It is hard to help people when you do not know if you know the correct answers.
