Ok, this is a new one for me. I've heard of people trying to lift some code from other people and post it as their own, when they try and ask for homework help. Never have I heard of someone lifting another person's request for help and try to present it as their own.

Maybe it's a slow day, but this guy got under my skin. Nonsensical, poorly-worded cries for help that obviously do not include his real code, cross-posted to at least 2 other forums and followed up by even more nonsensical posts that don't include his real code.

I've joined PHPFreaks, and there's no shortage of great idiot threads there. This guy insists that a forum's job is to answer the question as asked, with no commentary or suggestions for improvements. Apparently we're all just walking, talking versions of the PHP manual.

Dan, if more people would just RTFM, there would be fewer problems. It's a fact.
Nothing too extraordinary here, just a basic eager noob. I just had to laugh at his attempt to redirect users with disabled javascript by using javascript in <noscript> tags -- innovative.

In this thread, a new PHP programmer posts a problem he's having with newly-created objects. Eventually it comes out that he's not using objects...at all, and all his problems stem from the fact that his underlying code is wrong.
Not really a hilarious thread, but one worth reading anyway.
