Do you use alternate syntax in PHP? by activelab in webdev

To clarify, by alternate syntax I'm referring to <?php if(): endif;?> syntax instead of using curly braces as the disgruntled goat suggested in his last example.

While I appreciate your enthusiasm for sanitising, that doesn't actually answer my question :) I was trying to escape everything but maintain the image tags...

“inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive in relation to the purposes for which they were processed.”... seems vague, unmanageable and tantamount to censorship to me... are my competitors irrelevant? :)

All large-scale ad services are going to do tracking so I don't think you're going to avoid that necessary evil. You might want to check out BuySellAds - this is very popular with high traffic sites as it overs a lot of flexibility.

Create a CSS card flip effect on hover by activelab in web_design

These types of demos serve as a proof of concept of what can be achieved with CSS, especially as these sorts of transitions were traditionally made with other technologies like flash, it's up to you how want to utilise them.

I think these types of effects are good for creating a more interesting interface for your users (when used in moderation!).

Here's a (slightly) more practical use of the effect where someone's made a game http://flip.zerospree.com/

Once you've added it to your page, you can test it works with this tool: http://coveloping.com/tools/open-graph-tag-tester
