It offer an API with several abstractions to facilitate the application development and a MVC pattern (Model2) implementation using Smarty in the View. <br /> <br /> The main intention to the development this framework is encourage PHP developers to use the PHP5 (truly Object Oriented) and also become this framework not only more one framework but a collaborative framework as already come being done considering the reuse of classes found in several places such as Phrame Frameowrk, PEAR repository and PHPClasses repository. <br /> <br /> The API offers the following abstrations: <ul> <li>Date and time manipulating (util package - 0.10) </li> <li>Collection classes as ArrayList, HashMap, ListIterator, Queue, Stack and LinkedList (util package - 0.11) </li> <li>Manipulating, reading and writing files and objects (io package - 0.12) </li> <li>Simple and attachment send mail (mail package - 0.10) </li> <li>TCP/IP client and servers sockets (sockets - net package - 0.10) </li> <li>HTTP request and response classes as HttpRequest, HttpResponse, HttpSession and HttpService (http package - 0.12) <li>Database manipulating (persistence package - 0.12) <br/>Contains two frameworks in this package <ul> <li>ADOdb - Access databases and execute SQL queries </li> <li>dataobject - ORM to persist objects in RDB (relational-database) or XML (version 1.6) </li> </ul> <li>Manipulating images and creation of thumbnails or watermarks (imaget package - 0.11) </li> <li>Classes to represent HTML components such as ComboBox, MultiSelectionList, Table, Tree and HtmlPage (faces package - 0.11) </li> </ul> <br /> Also, the project offers an implementation of MVC pattern (Model2) located in the sub project [webmeshmvc]. This sub project is implemented using the following techniques: <ul> <li>Model layer can uses persistence package with the dataobject sub package or adaptations for another frameworks </li><li>View layer using Smarty template framework or another framework that you to prefer to integrate in this layer and </li><li>Controller layer using Action classes centralized in one FrontController (Apache Struts 1.3.x like) </li></ul> Other feature of the [webmeshmvc] is the internationalization (i18n) implemented using properties files look like the manner that the Java uses. </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <a href="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/webmesh"><img width="88" height="31" border="0" alt="SourceForge.net" src="http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=188241&type=1"/></a> <a href="http://www.php.net"><img width="65" height="31" border="0" alt="php.net" src="http://static.php.net/www.php.net/images/php.gif"/></a> <a href="http://www.smarty.net"><img border="0" alt="Smarty" src="http://www.smarty.net/gifs/smarty_icon.gif"/></a> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
