text/application type is deprecated

Posted on Updated on

This was news to me–RFC4329 explicity declares text/javascript to be obsolete. Instead, application/javascript is to be used. The problem? Not all browsers support it yet.

Here’s the breakdown:

Firefox

  • Firefox 3.5.4 – supported

Internet Explorer

  • IE 8 – NOT supported

Safari

  • Safari 4.0.3 – supported

Chrome

  • Chrome 3.0 – supported

Determining if a method was called statically

Posted on

In PHP, it’s occasionally helpful to call a method sometimes statically and sometimes from class instance. Figuring out which way a method has been called is pretty straightforward, thanks to a function posted in the PHP documentation:

<?php
function foo () {
$isStatic = !(isset($this) && get_class($this) == __CLASS__);
}
?>
