[PHP] Sparse 1.0b - framework for MySQL programs
I apologize if this was already posted, but I didn't see it go through. I'd like to announce the first release of Sparse, a new way to create MySQL programs without actually programming anything! Sparse takes care of handling the SQL data, navigation, displaying errors, input validation, and caching. Using a few extra HTML tags allows surprising power, yet remains easy to use and very customizable. It can save a lot of time and effort during development! It's especially well-suited for creating admin back-ends of sites that use MySQL. This means that you can actually create entire MySQL-backed programs without using a single line of PHP code. However, more complex forms and queries can be easily integrated with PHP code as well. The Sparse homepage is here: http://sparse-php.sourceforge.net/ Besides looking for beta testers, I'd also like to know the best way to spread the word about it, so if anyone has any comments or help they can offer, please do so! Thanks! --Daniel Orner -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I haven't been able to install PHP5 on my own server, so I don't know for sure, but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't. 8-) Part of why I need beta testers. --Daniel does it run on php5? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

That's ok PHP5 is a fringe community *lol*. Although I may switch now that you can use the var keyword again for class vars. Then again maybe I should just wait for PHP6 for a full embrace *grin*. All I know is I don't really need any of the sugar candy in PHP5.

Re: [PHP] Sparse 1.0b - framework for MySQL programs
Well... okay, I'll be honest, I never really *wanted* to install it. 8-) And I'm not exactly a server guru (even updating PHP4 proved to be too much for me... for some reason a bunch of dependencies which were fine when I got the server no longer work). er why not? just install a second copy of php into a custom (e.g. your homedir) dir and use that - check the archives for Rasmus' quick guide to setting up a second apache/php installation. possible reason number 1: XML handling in php5 is rather different than in php4, they offer different xml tools - chances are the exntesion you use possible reason number 1-N: objects work differently in php5. Well, I don't use objects too extensively... I took a look at the migrating from PHP4 to PHP5 page on the manual and there didn't seem to be anything that would have messed it up. I wasn't aware of the XML differences, so yes, that may be a problem. I won't know until someone tries. 8-) Thanks, --Daniel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This is really nice -- though what I find amusing is that, in many ways, it seems to me to reflect the ideas of what PHP set out to be, oh so many years ago... Maybe 15 years from now, you'll be taking Rasmus' job at Yahoo :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
