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 when I need to experiment with a simple PHP coding task for the sake of a blog feature, I look for the simplest possible serving solution to accomplish that feat. Luckily PHP provides me a quick solution for testing:
php -S localhost:8888
The command above allows for serving of a directory via PHP, thus allowing for a simple PHP "site" to be served enough to confirm that my code testing works properly.
Serving a directory with PHP, python, or Node.js ... the same problem solved for different languages!

![Build a Slick and Simple MooTools Accordion]()
Last week I covered a smooth, subtle MooTools effect called Kwicks. Another great MooTools creation is the Accordion, which acts like...wait for it...an accordion! Now I've never been a huge Weird Al fan so this is as close to playing an accordion as...
