PHP Encoding issues
Had an issue we were running into regarding encoding while trying to render content that had been parsed by DOMDocument()
utf 8 – Getting ’ instead of an apostrophe(') in PHP – Stack Overflow
Solution:
echo mb_convert_encoding($content,"HTML-ENTITIES","UTF-8");
mb_convert_encoding is your friend 🙂

Mobile Browser User Agents
We’ve recently run into a lot of issues with the In-App Mobile Browsers on Facebook and Twitter, so I thought I’d publish the User Agents for these browsers to help others looking for the same information.
Particularly, the issue we were experiencing was sites that were linked to from Facebook and Twitter, which had links in a post that were supposed to open in a new window with target=”_blank” were just leading to “about:blank” pages and not redirecting. Based on the user agent we’ve changed the links to target="_self", which I know is bad practice but until we notify all the editors to stop using target="_blank" I don’t see an easier workaround.
