Mobile PHP reference

in PHP tagged , ,

I had a look at the apps on the app store for this and couldn’t really tell if they did what I was looking for from the screenshots, so was reluctant to buy them, then Andy suggested that I should make my own, so here it is:

Features

  • Find as you type
  • Offline access
  • Home screen icon
  • Also works in firefox sidebar

Still to come

  • Syntax highlighting
  • Links to full docs
  • and more…

Try it for yourself at bit.ly/phpref and let me know what you think

Only load jQuery if not already present

in Javascript

Very useful method of ensuring jQuery is loaded before running the code that needs it – from How to build a web widget (using jQuery) – Alex Marandon

/******** Load jQuery if not present *********/
if (typeof jQuery === "undefined" || jQuery.fn.jquery !== '1.4.2') {
    var script_tag = document.createElement('script');
    script_tag.setAttribute("type","text/javascript");
    script_tag.setAttribute("src",
      "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js")
    script_tag.onload = main; // Run main() once jQuery has loaded
    script_tag.onreadystatechange = function () { // Same thing but for IE
      if (this.readyState == 'complete' || this.readyState == 'loaded') main();
    }
    document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script_tag);
} else {
    main();
}
