Illegal to use Mac Opera? June 24, 2007

Posted by Olexandr Melnyk in : Fun, Web , add a comment

As someone has pointed out on the Opera-Users mail list, from the license of Opera 9.21 for Macintosh:

“You may not use the Software on non-PC products, devices, or embedded in any other product…”

So are all Mac users infringing the license? ;)

PHP short open tag December 23, 2006

Posted by Olexandr Melnyk in : Programming, Web , add a comment

I’ve had a problem when using XML declaration in a web page:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>

which was caused by a conflict with PHP short open tag. The solution was to disable it with .htaccess (what was allowed by my friend’s VPS, where this website is currently hosted):

php_flag short_open_tag off

This is yet another argument against using short open tag (not to mention that it’s support is likely to be dropped in PHP 6).

UPDATE: Short open tag is likely to stay in PHP 6, but because of the problems like the one described above, I would still recommend against using it.
