Server Side CSS Sniffing with PHP

Server Side CSS Sniffing with PHP 02/17/2004 07:51 AM

Richard Allsebrook writes about sniffin g the user agent to serve browser-specific style sheets (via c ss vault).

FWIW, my opinion is that in the long run this is more trouble than it's worth since it requires maintaining multiple style sheets, but if you wish to use this technique, TopStyle Pro's "CSS Export" may provide some help. This feature takes a style sheet and creates a "downgraded" version by stripping out styles problematic to a specific browser.

Server-Side Include Add-in (SSIbot)

Server-Side Include Add-in (SSIbot) 12/23/2003 01:35 AM
In the past, if you wanted to include the contents of one HTML file in another using FrontPage, you had two choices. The FrontPage "Included Content" component is easy to use and you can see your page in the editor and preview windows as it is going to look in a browser - the included contents are visible. Unfortunately, most webmasters prefer the "server-side" include method where a special command is required in HTML (e.g ). While this can be entered in the HTML window of FrontPage, the included content is not shown in the FrontPage Editor or Preview windows. Now you can have the benefits of server-side includes and still see in FrontPage how your page will look when published. The Server-Side Include Add-in by Swanfield (SSIbot) is a component for FrontPage that acts like a FrontPage include while you are editing the page, but puts a server-side include in the page, used when the page is browsed. In addition, it controls the formatting of the include command and only allows valid commands to be inserted.

PHP Overtakes ASP as Web's #1
Server-side Script Language

PHP Overtakes ASP as Web's #1
Server-side Script Language 06/09/2002 12:02 PM
June 5th, 2002 - Zend Technologies Ltd., the designers of PHP 4 and the Zend Engine, today announced that as of April 2002, PHP, the open-source software phenomenon, has surpassed Microsoft’s ASP as the most popular server-side Web scripting technology on the Internet.

According to a Netcraft survey published in April 2002, PHP is now being used by over 24% of the sites on the Internet. Of the 37.6 million web sites reported worldwide (http://www.netcraft.com/Survey/index-200204.html), PHP is running on over 9 million sites and continues to grow at an explosive rate. Over the past two years PHP has averaged a 6.5% monthly growth rate.

"tri" From the netcraft URL, I don't see any proof of this. Where did Zend get their figures? Can anyone clarify? - John

Virtual Collaboration: If You Can't Work
Side-by-Side

Virtual Collaboration: If You Can't Work
Side-by-Side 03/19/2005 02:58 AM

The Idea: What do you do if you need or want to collaborate, but you can't do so in person? What purposes are best served by weblogs, wikis, and other types of online collaboration tools, spaces and media? Collaboration entails finding the right group of people (skills, personalities, knowledge, work-styles, and chemistry), ensuring they share commitment to the collaboration task at hand, and providing them with an environment, tools, knowledge, training, process and facilitation to ensure they work together effectively. This is challenging enough face-to-face in real-time. It's doubly difficult virtually and asynchronously. But there are examples of great music, literature, invention, scientific discovery and problem-solving that have come from such handicapped collaboration. How did they do it, and can you improve the likelihood of brilliant virtual collaboration by using the right tools and media? Let's take a look at some of the alternatives: Tool / Medium Collaborative Advantages Collaborative Disadvantages Best Suited to Collaborative: weblog easy to post & comment; content is subscribable/ publishable participation limited to comments Conversations wiki anyone can contribute content harder to learn; can be easily sabotaged; inelegant appearance Projects / Alliances whiteboard real-time; anyone can contribute content content only persists for duration of call; possible firewall issues Conversations / Projects document-sharing can be real time; anyone can contribute content possible firewall issues; attention is focused on a document Conversations / Projects IM/skype/phone/ e-mail/ videoconferencing real-time conversations; audio/visual context; speed content only persists for duration of call Conversations mindmaps shows and documents consensus can't capture detail Projects discussion forums threading of comments; content is subscribable/ publishable limited contextual knowledge of participants; can attract undisciplined behaviours; threads can be hard to follow Conversations community of practice/ interest spaces organization; defined membership; multiple collaborative tools harder to learn; formality can reduce intimacy and level of participation Projects / Alliances personal e-mail groups flexible; personal; easy to use e-mail overload/spam; threads get lost or hard to navigate and follow Projects / Alliances social networking tools large number of members; good way to find collaborators most actual collaboration is done using other tools and media Finding collaborators in-person collaboration easy; real-time; context-rich; flexible expensive; time-consuming All of the above if time & cost permits There are three levels of collaboration based on duration of contact: Conversations: Where you're in contact just once, or a few times, discussing a particular subject or group of subjects. Projects: Where you're in contact as often as necessary to complete a project. Alliances: Where you're in contact in multiple conversations and on multiple projects, working together for an indefinite period of time. A collaborative conversation may be provoked by an interesting or important idea or an urgent one-off need for information or assistance. Much of the time spent in business is consumed in consulting with others, in canvassing for ideas or suggestions or comments, and in making decisions on what something means or how to respond to it. These are generally quick, collaborative conversations. In large organizations these conversations are usually peer-to-peer (where trust is stronger than up or down the hierarchy), and as size increases further they tend to be more and more intermediated (one middle-manager recently told me that 70% of his e-mail and 50% of his telephone calls are of the "Who should I talk to about X?" variety). In smaller organizations, these conversations are more likely to draw on external networks, and to involve the use of today's clunky social networking tools like LinkedIn and eCademy. I have argued before that the next generation of social networking tools should include 'people-finders' that streamline and automate the process of finding the right person (inside or outside the organization) to talk to, so that more time can be spent on actual conversations with those people. Once you've found the right person to converse with, if they're close and inexpensive to talk to in person, that's likely what you'll do. But what if they aren't? How do you quickly provide your Conversation Collaborators with the context they need to converse with you effectively when you can't put a chart or a piece of paper in front of them and brief them? Organizations have found that if the person you want to converse with face-to-face is more than two minutes walk (or elevator ride) away, the probability of you making the effort to converse with them in person drops precipitously. If you have a blog, an audience, and a little time, your blog can serve this need well. Ask a question on a popular blog and you'll probably get an informed answer quite quickly (thank you readers!) Most businesses, alas, have few established blogs and even less time. Preferred conversation tools in business, when face-to-face is impossible, are now IM and the telephone -- with IM trumping the phone for its self-documentation, its suitability to multi-tasking, and because it's easier to browse than voice-mail, and the phone trumping IM if a lot of iteration is needed to provide context. White-boarding and document-sharing applications, awkward as they are, can be helpful additions to IM and telephone conversations if the participants are savvy enough to use them properly (most aren't) and if documents and graphics are needed to provide more context. E-mail is the increasingly unpopular fall-back. Discussion forums are the ultimate tool of last resort for conversations, because of the disadvantages listed above. In most of the companies I am familiar with, they are only sporadically used and quickly grow stale. A variety of tools have been developed for more enduring project collaborations and alliance collaborations. Because they tend to involve more participants than conversations do, the logistics get tougher and the effectiveness of these tools gets more challenging. And the threshold point for giving up on the viability of in-person collaboration rises dramatically. I think this is an absolutely critical point. It is the reason large corporations, with the internal resources (people and money) to sequester, have the capacity to collaborate more effectively than small corporations and loose, unfunded collaborative groups (though whether they use that capacity to advantage is another question entirely). Open Source project teams and alliances have pioneered low-budget, virtual, asynchronous collaboration, and are the role model to follow. But is the reason for this perhaps that Open Source collaborations are generally undertaken by exceptionally tech-savvy groups, very agile at using and even inventing their own collaborative tools to get the job done? They usually have a good GUI for the non-techie, but wade into the material and collaboration technology behind a lot of these groups and your head will start spinning. What about the other 95% of the population? If I want to set up a virtual collaboration team to design a model intentional community (with people I might end up spending the rest of the my life with) or to invent a post-capitalist economy (a large project if there ever was one), what tools and media should I use? Wikis are one place to start -- a bit nerdy and physically inelegant but functional and not that hard to learn once you take the plunge. They are, however, asynchronous tools, which is a significant barrier to true collaboration. There are some more robust collaborative 'spaces' for communities of interest and communities of practice to adopt, but some of the best 'groupware' (like Groove and Exchange and eRooms) costs money and requires considerable learning to use its different tools effectively. These tools generally also require a coordinator to invest a lot of time to setting up and managing the 'space'. There are a variety of document-sharing technologies in the market, which allow several people to see a document at once and to 'take control' each in turn to change that document. Ideally, using a combination of Skype (free global VoIP telephony), White-boarding (everyone online can see what anyone posts to the white-board), Document-sharing and Mindmapping or some similar session annotation tool (everyone can see what the group's 'scribe' has documented as the findings, decisions and next actions from the collaboration) would be a close approximation to an in-person collaborative session. But that's a lot of technology to juggle on your screen, to hog and interfere with your bandwidth, and (if you opt for the more powerful tools in these categories) can also require some outlay of money. My experience has been (thanks in no small part to the valuable insights of online communication wizard Robin Good and Skypemaster Stu Henshall) that video-conferencing (seeing the people you're talking with online) is a "nice to have" not a "need to have", especially when bandwidth limitations force you to choose which applications to have running at any one time. I am confident that, as bandwidth and processing power continue to expand, we will soon see: A single, free, reliable, easy-to-use, professional-looking application that will provide what I've called Simple Virtual Presence -- the four applications listed above plus the option of videoconferencing (illustrated above), and A simple, free, easy-to-use collaboration space where the results of the online collaboration sessions, and a library of relevant resources and links, are stored, with wiki-like capability so it can be maintained by any and all in the group. Now that would be a real virtual collaboration environment.

Using PHP Includes for MT Search Results

Using PHP Includes for MT Search Results 07/04/2004 03:28 PM

A lot of people want to roll their own search with Movable Type. Us, for instance — Gadgetopia has a two-tiered search system based on whether the search term appears in the title, keywords, or body of the entry (see this post for more information).

Our search is done in with SQL and PHP, abandoning the MT search system completely. The probem with this method is rendering the search results. If you don't use MT, then you lose two things:

(1) Auto-creation of the permalink. The URL isn't stored anywhere in the database, so you have to recreate it. If your URLs are just based on the entry ID, then it's not hard. However, look at our URLs — they're a conglomoration of the date and the entry title. We'd have to create a PHP function to recreate this scheme — and if we ever changed the URL structure from within MT, we'd have to change the PHP function separately.

(2) Text filters. If you're just converting line breaks, the text filter is not so hard to re-produce. However, if you're using Textile or some other plug-in to filter your text, you're going to have to reproduce that in PHP as well so the previews render correctly.

You can avoid all this, however, by simply using PHP includes and an extra Individual Entry Archive. The result is an elegant solution that blends PHP and MT to eliminate the tedium of recreating MT functionality in PHP.

To do this, create a new Individual Entry Archive in MT called "search_fragment." This template should contain the just HTML to present a single search result. Like this:


<tr class="title">
  <td class="title">
    <a href="<MTEntryPermalink>"><MTEntryTitle></a>
  </td>
  <td class="date">
    <MTEntryDate format="%m/%d/%Y">
  </td>
</tr>
<tr class="excerpt">
  <td colspan="2">
    <MTEntryExcerpt>
  </td>
</td>


Configure this template to generate a file in a "search_fragments" directory named for the entry ID only. You don't even have to add an extention, though you can if you like (if so, you'll need the change the PHP code listed below). So the entry in the archiving configuration would be something like:

search_fragments/<MTEntryID>

Now when an entry rebuilds, it will create two files: (1) its normal archive file, and (2) a search result fragment file called "1", "2", "348", etc. in the search_fragments directory. Notice that since we're using standard MT templates to create the fragment, the permalink will be created by MT, and the excerpt text will be formatted according to the text filter the entry is using.

Now, when you use your SQL to get your search results, just SELECT the entry ID, then spin through those and use PHP to include the matching search fragment file. Like this:


<table>
  <?php
    while ($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($keywordResults)) {
      @include "search_fragments/" . $r['entry_id'];
    }
  ?>
</table>


This will dump the contents of each search fragment file in the table. Since each file contained two rows, the resulting table will be valid HTML. Notice we're surpressing any errors on the inclusion line just in case a file is missing for some reason.

We've be using this system here for months, and it works great.
