PHP400 Framework Overview

Written in PHP, the PHP400 framework is a set of libraries, classes and productivity tools to facilitate the development of PHP applications by providing the functions and basic services to all products. Classes in the framework of PHP400 to manage the graphical components, generate tables of lists, access to databases, write and execute JavaScript or AJAX functions to call programs or AS400, iSeries, System i ou Power icommands.

The framework is used implicitly by all PHP400 products. Its characteristic is to be strongly oriented towards the management, that is to say to transactions involving the updating of records in the database.

The PHP400 framework allows the development of PHP applications with minimal knowledge of PHP. It simplifies writing programs because it offers many functions covering areas that the user knows, perhaps not, for example, access to databases, HTML or JavaScript. Thus the substitution of one database to another will be completely transparent to the program, allowing the port to another platform.

The framework sets out a framework for the developer and to create robust applications, results, standardized, professional, easy to maintain. The screens of transactions generated all have the same aspect: first, this normalization allows the developer to stop asking questions of layout on the other hand, the user always finds a familiar environment. In addition, this standard format screens greatly facilitates the subsequent maintenance of applications.
