Update PHP to the latest version on Debian Lenny

Update PHP to the latest version on Debian Lenny

It’s easier than you think.

First you have to add the dotdeb packages to the /etc/apt/sources.list file

1
2
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all

if you want the php 5.3 branch, add these lines instead

1
2
deb http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all
deb-src http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all

You have then to install the gpg keys :

1
2
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 89DF5277
gpg -a --export 89DF5277 | sudo apt-key add -

(remove “sudo” if you’re already root)

Then do :

1
2
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Here you have, the latest PHP version (5.2.14 or 5.3.3 at this moment)

IE 6 is evil, but we have to support it.

IE 6 is evil, but we have to support it.

We (by we I mean all web developpers) all know that Internet explorer is a real nightmare for web design and developping.

Everytime that we make a nice effect or a nice design. It turns out that IE 6 doesn’t support it.

For a little example, who tried to create a position:fixed element on a page. and gave up because he didn’t want to put some javascript in his page?

Yeah I know, that’s scary. By the way, put down your hand, you look idiot by raising your hand behind your computer.

But that’s enough !!!

The guys from Virtuosi Media made a Best Practices Guide for IE 6.

A guide that helps to avoid the most commons problems of this browser.

Here is the link to the Tutorial : http://www.virtuosimedia.com/tutorials/ultimate-ie6-cheatsheet-how-to-fix-25-internet-explorer-6-bugs
