  A List Apart: Articles: Using SVG For Flexible, Scalable, and Fun Backgrounds, Part I
  
  
  Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) consist of circles, rectangles, and paths created in XML and combined into drawings on web pages. You can apply solid colors, gradients, and a sophisticated number of filters to SVG—although not all browsers implement all filter types. You can incorporate text, as well as images, and you can copy and clone your SVG as much as you want. Mostly, we use SVG for graphics programs, charts, illustrations, or animations.

$frequencyIndicator = ($resultCount * $count) + $i++;

Quick: does $i++ return $i before or after incrementing? You shouldn't need to look crap like that up while reading code. Also, does ++ have a higher precedence than +?

  On these pages, I present solid information on (currently) 117 different spice plants.
