The jQuery webcam plugin is a transparent layer to communicate with a camera directly in JavaScript. Overview This plugin provides three different modes to access a webcam through a small API directly with JavaScript - or more precisely jQuery. Thus, it is possible to bring the image on a Canvas (callback mode), to store the image on the server (save mode) and to stream the live image of the Flash element on a Canvas (stream mode).

Element.classList The classList API provides the basic CSS controls our JavaScript libraries have been giving us for years: // Add a class to an element myElement. classList . add ( "newClass" ) ; // Remove a class to an element myElement. classList . remove ( "existingClass" ) ; // Check for existence myElement. classList . contains ( "oneClass" ) ; // Toggle a class myElement. classList . toggle ( "anotherClass" ) ; The epitome of a great API addition: simple and intelligent. ContextMenu API The new ContextMenu API is excellent:  instead of overriding the browser context menu, the new ContextMenu API allows you to simply add items to the browser's context menu: contextmenu = "mymenu" > type = "context" id = "mymenu" > label = "Refresh Post" onclick = "window.location.reload();" icon = "/images/refresh-icon.png" > label = ...

Reading PDF Files To read PDF files, you will need to install the XPDF package , which includes "pdftotext." Once you have XPDF/pdftotext installed, you run the following PHP statement to get the PDF text: $content = shell_exec ( '/usr/local/bin/pdftotext ' . $filename . ' -' ) ; //dash at the end to output content Reading DOC Files Like the PDF example above, you'll need to download another package. This package is called Antiword . Here's the code to grab the Word DOC content: $content = shell_exec ( '/usr/local/bin/antiword ' . $filename ) ; The above code does NOT read DOCX files and does not (and purposely so) preserve formatting. There are other libraries that will preserve formatting but in our case, we just want to get at the text.

You probably know Wikipedia , the free encyclopedia, and may possibly be a little bit confused by similar, but different, words such as Wiki, Wikimedia or MediaWiki . To avoid a possible confusion between the words you may first want to read the article about the names where the differences are explained. MediaWiki is free server-based software which is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It's designed to be run on a large server farm for a website that gets millions of hits per day. MediaWiki is an extremely powerful, scalable software and a feature-rich wiki implementation, that uses PHP to process and display data stored in a database, such as MySQL . Pages use MediaWiki's wikitext format , so that users without knowledge of XHTML or CSS can edit them easily.
