What is phpWebApp

phpWebApp is an application framework which makes easy and simple the task of building PHP web applications based on relational databases. It separates the task of designing and changing the layout of the application from the task of implementing the logic of the application, by using XML templates that are an extension of XHTML. It also simplifies the task of implementing the logic of the application by offering an event based programming model. In addition, phpWebApp tries to offer modularity and code reusability to the community of webApp developers.

Some of the features of the 'phpWebApp' framework, and the advantages and benefits of using it for building web applications, are these:

Installation

phpWebApp is written in PHP, and it works in a Linux+Apache webserver. It may be possible to fix it in order to make it work in other platforms or webservers, however this is not supported.

To install the phpWebApp framework you don't need to make or build anything, just get it and extract it to your DocumentRoot folder (the folder where your web server looks for web documents).

Download the latest release, or get it from CVS@sourceforge (login as anonymous and checkout the modules web_app, documentation, app1, app2 etc.).
