Intro to SVG, and Site News
Jun 14, 2002 @ 12:00:45

Well, I poked around this morning, and I came up with a whole bunch of nothing as far as PHP-specific news today (on a Friday, imagine that). So, here's a few interesting things that I did find:

Over on Builder.com they have a neat little article on something that seems to be getting overlooked, but could be great for PHP developer that want to work with scaleable graphics in their scripts. This article gives you a good introduction to SVG, the Scalable Vector Graphics format defined by the W3C that uses an XML-based language to create the graphics that it makes. This is tons easier than the currect GD stuff that most people use for graphics in PHP. So, what's the downside, you ask? Well, it requires a special plugin before you can use it in a browser, so some people might be hesitant to install it (of course, look at Flash then and now...). The SVG format is getting more and more robust all the time, and with more support from coders and the general public, it can get even stronger - so check out this article and see if it's right for you...

Once again, I just want to thank all of you out there that have donated so far. I know I rehash it quite a bit, and have mentioned it before, but I also just want to be sure that all of you out there know how much I appreciate it. This site wouldn't be here without the support of coders and gurus like all of you, and I thank you. On that same note, if anyone has any suggestions for add-ons to the site, or features you think would get used more often, then please drop me a line and let me know.
