BrowserPlus to become Open Source

The new BrowserPlus framework – a way of extending your browser capabilities – will become open source next year, which seems a sensible way to increase its adoption:

The big idea here is that we’ll have the whole platform open sourced by mid-next year, and as soon as possible we’ll have many of the services we’ve written open sourced, as well as the APIs needed to write new services. Our goal is to empower the community to contribute actual patches and new services – code to compliment the feedback.

Closing PHP tag considered harmful

A good tip from Zend, who recommend omitting the closing PHP tag (?>) when your files contain pure PHP code. This can prevent additional whitespace being inserted into the script output. Extra whitespace can cause problems, for example, if you are trying to set your own custom HTTP headers: nothing should be output before the call to the header function. Otherwise, this classic error will occur:


Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at myinclude.php:16) in myscript.php on line 15
