Some websites disable right-click to prevent people from stealing their images. The problem is that this does NOT slow down people from stealing their images. People that steal images have SOOO many different ways about getting their images. Disabling right-click is the least effective way to prevent image stealing.

It’s about time that PHP joined the band wagon of anonymous functions. Anonymous functions, also known as closures, are functions with no specified name. These functions are stored in variables and can be passed around. Anonymous functions have been in other programming languages like Javascript, so if you know Javascript then anonymous functions are nothing new.

Colon syntax is another way to style your PHP code. Instead of using curly braces you use colons. Below I have included an example of a couple different curly brace styles and also each statement using the colon syntax. I don’t know of any performance benefits or loss to using this syntax over any other. Please comment here if you have any more information about its affects on performance.

When I started programming I only learned about do ... while statements and I didn’t know about while statements. There are some times when my code would’ve been a lot cleaner if I had known about while statements. To save you all the trouble of what I had to go through I’m writing this post. For those of you who already know the difference between while and do ... while I have included a little-known trick that may interest you. Just skip on down to the bottom.

I’m proud of our online community for making progress in ridding ourselves of Internet Explorer. Microsoft’s heavy grasp has made it difficult for the masses of internet users to notice myriad of other, faster, more reliable browsers. Firefox has made a great deal of progress to get us where we are. But now, even Firefox is leveling off as Google’s Chrome increases rapidly every month. As of August 2009, Chrome has increased its market share by 89%, from 3.6 to 6.8.
