Re: [mlview-list] PHP & the website

Hey Scott !

Yes, the site is hosted at http://www.online.net and they do support
php.
I haven't used that feature mostly because of my lack of php knowledge.

Now that it seems we can have a competent maintainer for the php part,
I buy into that solution.

Cheers,

Dodji.
