We're pleased to bring you the 3rd version of the GoSquared CSS Help Sheet, and a brand new CSS3 Help Sheet.

With the VI Help Sheet we released last week, we redesigned our Help Sheets for a much better result when printed on paper, while ensuring they still don't look too shabby on the screen of your Mac, PC, iPhone or iPad.

We've put together a Help Sheet specifically for CSS3. We've covered most of the basic options now possible with CSS3, but there's a ton more we couldn't fit in, so we've linked to a couple of handy articles such as this post by 456 Berea Street on CSS Selectors, and this piece by Paul Irish on Font-Face.

So what are you waiting for? Download them. Print them. Stick 'em on the wall and get creative!

Having used MediaTemple's hosting options for quite some time, we've built up a fair amount of experience working with their (dv) servers. Every now and again you may find it necessary to extend the core functionality of the pre-compiled PHP supplied with the (dv) server using PECL extensions to give your apps that little bit more of a cutting edge.

There is a quick and easy way to insall the PECL modules on your (dv) server: pecl install [extension]. However, if for whatever reason this does not work for you, this guide documents a manual installation method.

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.
