It is impolite to full-quote a posting, particularly to quote the signature 
of a posting without referring to it.  Learn to quote.

You are confusing this with private e-mail.

This is not a mailing list, it is a Usenet newsgroup.  But it makes no 
significant difference in that regard:

You have posted *twice* now something that fails to address the problem at 
hand.  You have been notified of that twice now.  You have posted a 
correction that is suboptimal, and you have been notified of that.  And you 
of all people dare to patronize others?  Go away.

I have more than 14 years of professional experience in software development 
with PHP now.

If you cared to read, *I* know how it is done.
