Hey guys,
Until three months ago i was working on a web development framework called OpenACS. One of the things i loved about it is the extensive API they had for building everything. Now, the PHP API is amazing, but there are things that sometimes i wish they had like OpenACS. For instance with OpenACS, you rarely wrote any HTML at all, using methods like ad_form to build forms, or template::list to build lists that show data with ability to paginate (show data on multiple pages) and to sort by column name. Such things are not available with PHP, because it is a scripting language and not a development framework. I was thinking of trying to do something similar to PHP, because god knows how much i hate writing forms and dropdown lists and stuff like that :).
Anyway, i attached a file i wrote which should clarify the idea. It is a _very_ small version of what ad_form can do, but just to get the idea through. It contains the URL to the documentation of ad_form and what it does.
My questions are:
1) What do you think of the idea?
2) Is it really useful to have such a thing? does it solve/ease any current problems?
3) Would the Jordanian PHP community and the PHP community at large benefit from such a thing?
Thanks in advance.
