Useragent browser and OS detection PHP script
PHP Browser detection made easy Useragent strings are notoriously tricky, but essential for statistic gathering, and PHP scripts to process them are few and far between, often out of date and difficult to update, or plain old inefficient. I set about writing a simple analysis script that was easy to update and had a small footprint. I can live with 99% accuracy for my stats, I dont need to know if14Feb/110

All new websites to feature HTML5 Im happy to announce that we have completed our research into the cross browser incompatibilities of HTML5, and that all new websites will be built using the stable structural elements of the new language.

Microsoft CSS3 uptake in IE9 is too little too late
If I didnt know better, Id say Microsoft were deliberately holding up progress on the web. The company that arguably dragged the masses into using PCs at home with Windows 95 (Im sticking my head above the parapit here) and brought computing into the 21st century are now desperately trying to keep us back in the 20th century.

Scalable Web Applications with PHP
One of the arguments pitted against the use of PHP for application programming is its lack of standards. For the last 10 years PHP has been moving closer to the Java paradigm and PHP6 will be the closest yet to enforcing the type of programming constructs you would expect in Java. Whilst PHP is a long way from Java in terms of power, I intend to show that adherence to best practice and hence quali9Mar/100
Extending the Lynk CMS – Part One
Dont reinvent the wheel, extend it. This is likely to be a long and ongoing article as theres a lot to cover. In true MVC fashion I start with creating a model (in the form of a single database table for the purposes of this post), creating a working controller and finally describing how the view is defined. Before you begin, you need to understand a little about the framework upon which this syst5Mar/100
