This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This could as well be an intro to php and the server may be set to not show errors and instead just fail.

The lecturer then writes some code, forgets a semicolon and gets a 500.
