Change Log

Things looking grim for PC release of MW2!

As the launch date gets closer and closer, IW and FourZeroTwo haven’t replied to rumors about the PC version being delayed a few weeks after the official launch date. In saying that IW may be trying to put a rush on it to get the deadline however that’s bad news for us PC heads as we’ve seen in the past with WaW; buggy, not ready for release game!

I personally would wait a few more weeks to make sure the PC version is right but game-server hosts and James Landi have their doubts as well Read more

The all new PHP Browser Detection

UPDATED to v1.6

Detecting the user’s browser type and version is helpful in web applications that harness some of the newer bleeding edge concepts. With the browser type and version you can notify users about challenges they may experience and suggest they upgrade before using such application. Not a great idea on a large scale public site; but on a private application this type of check can be helpful. Read more

PHP Browser Detection

Click here for the new version.

An old php class written by Gary White back in 2003 is still by far one of the best PHP Browser detection class’s I have come accross.

It should correctly identify all versions of:

  • Amaya
  • Galeon
  • iCab
  • Internet Explorer
    For AOL versions it will identify as Internet Explorer (AOL) and the version will be the AOL version instead of the IE version.
  • Konqueror
  • Lynx
  • Mozilla
  • Netscape Navigator/Communicator
  • OmniWeb
  • Opera
  • Pocket Internet Explorer for handhelds
  • Safari
  • WebTV

JSMIN for PHP4

PHP Speedy for WordPress

If you’re not familiar with PHP Speedy and you run a wordpress blog then you should be. PHP Speedy is the ultimate tool in compressing and speeding up the load time and efficiency of your web site/blog.

I have incorporated this script into the FooBar CMS and recommend it too anyone who has a php built web site or WordPress blog with or without a lot of javascript and css includes. PHP Speedy will essentially grab all your javascript attachments and css attachments, open them, compress them (on the fly) with JSmin (php5) and then re-structure your html output to only include one attached javascript file and one attached css file, compressed and stored on your local web server ready for other potential visitors.

Sounds too good to be true? Then check it out for yourself.
