Module development and code questions

Is there any setting/config to let TinyMCE recognize that a pge is PHP code (like if pahe content starts with php tag.

I just started using Tiny and all was well until i went to edit one of my existing pages which was PHP code - Tiny corrupted the code. Even if after first going to edit page i switched off "rich text" it was too late.

I now have default set to not use Tiny.. but most of my pages are simple HTML so it is a pain to have to turn Tiny on every time.

Thought maybe someway to do this...

I am asked how to create a module which presents all the book contributers, just like http://drupal.org/node/14205.

I think it would be possible to get the information by finding the book root node, and then traverse it and all childnodes an extract the uid from node.

But how do I actually include this in within an actual book. I mean, I must create a special contributor module. That is simple enough, but does it have to mimic book module, in order to be incorporated into books, or...?

hello, I'm working in a module, and I have to store dates and times of some events, but I want to store the UTC instead of the local time, because I want to show the events in the timezone of the users....

There is any function in drupal for timezone conversion?

Is the forum module bust in 4.6? Ive been building a site and have just started on the forum section and have a couple of rather major problems:

- forum posts are promoted to the front page by default
- forum posts are not displayed in the forums

Is the forum known to work in 4.6?

Drupal 4.7:
I am making a module which specifies a new node type. But I do not wish this node type to have a link in the "create content" page. I did not include a hook_menu function at all, however my new node type still shows up on the "create content" page.

How can I suppress this link?
Thanks!
