Panic Over! PHP, CSS & HTML Help Sheets
Today, we're introducing our all new Help Sheets. You loved our original CSS and HTML Help Sheets, so we went back to the originals, tidied them up, and gave them a sprinkling of coolness.
We're also pleased to bring you an entirely new Help Sheet - the PHP Help Sheet. This should be a saviour for you hardcore coders when you forget the odd array function or two.
New to GoSquared?
For those of you new to GoSquared - we design and engineer web applications for site owners to monitor their traffic and earn more money from their Site. We run Liquidicity, the blog on design & technology to share our thoughts and content with wonderful people like you in the hope that one day you'll use our products.
You can download the full set as a ZIP (5.4MB) right here:
The all new PHP Help Sheet. Everyone needs a handy reference now and then, so go ahead and print this off. Stick it on your wall and never get lost again!
Get the PDF (1.9MB)
The HTML Help Sheet has been updated and tidied up, so now you have no excuses for not decorating your office notice board with snippets of usefulness.
The CSS Help Sheet - our first ever, but updated to match the set. We made the original based on the wonderful work of Leslie Frank. Never forget those styling options with this at your side.
Update: We've redesigned the CSS Help Sheet. Get the new CSS2 and CSS3 Help Sheets now!
We hope you like the new Help Sheets, and would love to know what you want us to Help Sheet-ise next: JavaScript? Actionscript? JQuery? Tell us in the comments!
Oh and another thing, the other day one of our readers sent in a photo of our CSS Help Sheet on his office notice board. If you're using our Help Sheets at your office / home / garage / Starbucks we'd love to see! Email us a photo or upload to Flickr with the tag "GoSquared".
Enjoy!

Nice... I did love the originals, and have to say, I'm glad you decided to bring them back and re-do them; not that they needed it.. but that's just a personal observation. Keep up the great work!
And I have to agree... JS and AS would be awesome ;)

Cool, thanks everyone for the comments! Looks like ActionScript is in most demand so far.
I'll keep you posted!

Something any developper or webmaster should have hung on his walls. Excellent. I agree some more would be good for mysql, javascript, actionscript, AJAX, XML...

How about the template so we can create our own ;)
Steven Hambleton said,

Apart from not being able to spell my own surname I noticed that you have but not . One is obviously XHTML and the other HTML.
It would be useful for newcomers to know which version you are using :)
James said,

We are working on a JavaScript Help Sheet right now.
Giving away a template to create your own would be cool, but if people started creating their own Help Sheets using it and made any major mistakes, people might recognise the design and slate us for it.
We'll try and get you guys and girls a brand new Help Sheet ready as a Christmas present ;-)

Great work ! I think that the next MOST NEEDED is JavaScript it is used a lot so it would be helpful to have a look on the Help Sheet when you don'remember something or just to check if you were right . 10x a lot! Bye!

How long will the Javascript reference take? That is most needed.
James said,

Hi Sam, apologies for the delay, we've been working on the main GoSquared site and Services over the last few months.
We'll try to release the new Help Sheet as soon as possible.
Sorry it's taking so long,
James

This work would be nice if you wouldn't be stealing it from others without even quoting the original author!
Leslie Franke did this CSS Cheat Sheet way before you, and strangely enough, more than 2 years before you, his css sheet looks strangely similar.
Have a look: http://lesliefranke.com/2005/10/css-cheat-sheet/
How do you explain the similarities, if not plain copy/pasting?!!!
This is not the proper way to do things, man! You should at least credit the original author! Shame on you.

@Not So Happy,
The CSS Help Sheet was originally created in February 2007 - a long time ago. A lot has happened since then. We admit that the original was strongly influenced by the work of Leslie Franke, but at the time we felt that we had put sufficient effort and design work into our CSS Help Sheet to call it our own. We were wrong.
Looking at the two compared side by side, and with experience over several years in the industry, we can see that we were wrong. A linked reference to Leslie Frank's original work has been added to the main article.
We are working on a new set of Help Sheets as they have been so popular with the community. We will be changing the CSS Help Sheet to ensure the new one is distinctly our own.
