It is being used on a closed source project for a commercial customer which may result in a commercial application in the near future. It works with both PHP 4 and 5, the "old" and the "new" MySQL extensions, it aso supports PostgreSQL. It uses a data dictionary to generate all table classes, has built-in audit logging and workflow. The main advantage is that you can generate web applications without writing any HTML or SQL. -- Tony Marston http://www.tonymarston.net http://www.radicore.org > > ""Tony Marston"" <tony@marston-home.demon.co.uk> wrote in message > news:0E.78.02907.23C4A154@pb1.pair.com... >> If you want a web application framework that your students can play with > may >> I suggest http://www.radicore.org This is already being used as a > training >> aid by a university in the far east, so it must have some merit. >> >> -- >> Tony Marston >> http://www.tonymarston.net >> http://www.radicore.org >> >> ""Pinocchio007"" <pirinet@gmx.ch> wrote in message >> news:7C.E6.02907.1834A154@pb1.pair.com... >> >I am in charge of outlining a PHP/mySQL course (intro and advanced) for > an >> > education institute.
