PHP 10 miles

It's glad to know PHP is been alive for 10 years. PHP originally written by 27-year-old Rasmus Lerdorf and released in June 8, 1995 is now in PHP 5.0.4. I think, I hadn't seen any computers when PHP 1.0 was released (in 1995). My memory says I picked PHP around late 2000 or early 2001. One important thing I have noticed at this time is: PHP 1.0 wasn't a bunch of Perl scripts as many often quote; it was " set of small tight cgi binaries written in C " Links news: 3r7pgp$aa1@ionews.io.org Announcing the Personal Home Page Tools (PHP Tools) version 1.0.

BehaviorS.js - An alternative to Behaviour.js, event:Selectors and Low Pro libs for unobtrusive JavaScript programming

BehaviorS.js yet another unobtrusive JavaScript library similar to Behaviour.js and event:Selectors but in implementation uses hash based lookup without extending elements; so presumably it should be faster than the rest. The original script and idea was by JLof ; I extended it for DOMContentLoaded support, optimized a bit to avoid scanning of more depths, and added new rules support. I wanted to document the plug a long time and just got time to do it. For the time being BehaviorS.js is available here Update (2006-09-11) : Coralized the link to BehaviorS.js so as to save the load on free brinkster.com webpage Update (2006-09-27) : If the coralized link to BehaviorS.js doesn't work, use http://www21.brinkster.com/guideme/BehaviorS/
