javascript - replacing an input field's display -

-

i'm trying write lightweight html/javascript widget lets me colour each character entered. thinking way have input field reacted events, actual display overlaid html div reads input field's value, highlights it, , writes out. recommended way things? there library out there implements this, , takes care of fiddly details might not have thought of?

edit: searching ways implement cronoklee's contenteditable idea brought nice article: http://perplexed.co.uk/993_contenteditable_cross_browser_wysiwyg.htm

this might of interest: http://www.w3.org/tr/html5/editing.html#contenteditable

i set contenteditable div, , call javascript function on keypress wraps last inputted character in styled span tags. if need submit inputted data, set input type='hidden' , populate on keypress. no need overlay 1 on other!

edit: realised (months later!) can use div.textcontent content of input. show text without styling no need input field catch characters.

php - What is the difference between $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO']? -

-
what’s difference between $_server['path_info'] , $_server['orig_path_info'] ? how use them? when run print_r($_server) , path_info , orig_path_info not present in array. why not? how can enable them? i have read php manual on them, still don’t understand them. the path_info variable present if invoke php script this: http://www.example.com/phpinfo.php/hello_there it's /hello_there part after .php script. if don't invoke url that, there won't $_server["path_info"] environment variable. the porig_ prefix uncommon. path_info standard cgi-environment variable, , should never prefixed. did read that? (there issues around php3/php4 if invoked php interpreter via cgi-bin/ - hardly has such setups today.) for reference: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875
