So if someone is trying to figure out why their PHP code that connects to
a MySQL server isn't working they should be refused help?
What if their PHP code is trying to write a file to the file system?
Should they be in a group for the filesystem?
So, help me understand, as far as you're concerned the only questions on
topic here are concerning PHP syntax in a vacuum? Not application?
