Re: Fw: PHP XMF

The XPC product site you linked to is the first version of XPC I would customize for my corporate clients. The newer versions of XPC are on http://dev.4arrow.com I am not trying to showboat. I am trying to participate. The reason I pointed out XPC is to display some ideals I have for a PHP CMF. The license would be GPL, free to do as you please. Specifications: Its pretty late here (3:30AM). I have written a lot of docs on XPC concepts. basically a object oriented approach to reuse code, create classes, class properties, class attributes. These classes form objects that have their own properties and attributes. The properties and attributes are values defined by administrators, clients, members, and anonymous visitors. XPC uses server side parsing (PHP) to create a highly structured facade based on environmental variables and defined values by editors, administrators and members. Nothing is defined, everything is reused. To present unique and specific (or shared) designs / file formats for every URI. The SQL Schema contains 9 tables Here is the SQL Schema for a generic XPC site. admins, dirs, pages, products, properties, queue, related, members, and versions. Here is a related link to explain a bit more about the generalizing of data Schemas: http://dev.4arrow.com/home/papers/Documentation/How_XPC_works_for_members.xp c Here is another sample link that displays the above unique content in RSS format http://dev.4arrow.com/home/formats/papers/How_XPC_works_for_members.rss This is an email I sent to a developer last week: The project is a CMS that reuses code for multiple domains and subdomains that are all pointed at one IPs folder. Each domain has a unique database (or shared with unique prefix value). Each domain can have clients, users, admins, members Each member, user, admin, or client may or may not have a subdomain or a sub sub domain below the visited top level domain or the subdomain specific to them. What is needed is a abstracted framework that can determine the visitors status (user, admin, member, client) what their appropriate settings are and then their appropriate access for administration of their site. Also allow them to sign up based on the current domain's settings. I use wildcard settings on all domains being pointed to the folder that is running the CMS. this allows for the use of sub and sub sub domains (i.e. php.4arrow.com, mike.php.4arrow.com) Every uri_request passes through a "gateway" file (php script) that parses the URI and includes the appropriate domain settings. it checks for user authentication, user status, and the proper html output for the link. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rasmus Lerdorf" <rasmus@php.net> To: "Michael Glazer" <mglazer@4arrow.com> Cc: <php-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2001 3:09 AM Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Fw: PHP XMF > > XPC is a proprietary product that I was hoping to open into the PHP > > developers community. > > Open in what sense?
