    Serve a Directory with PHP

    Many developers have a giggle at PHP, even looking down at the language, but let's be honest:  most of our blogs are powered by it (WordPress) and it's a great language to dabble around with.  I cut my teeth on PHP, though I prefer to avoid PHP these days. But...

    Detect Error Type with JavaScript

    JavaScript error reporting and catching is important and will only get more important as our web applications become more feature rich and powerful. I have never used try/catch blocks in depth -- I usually just catch exceptions for stuff that's usually known to cause problems.
