PHP Library that I use.

Hi, I'm PHP newbie from Malaysia and have been coding PHP almost 1 1/2 years.

After involved various projects from SMS web interface into custom CMS, I think OOP will save your time a lot in case of database change or even HTML change.

Here's tools I use while coding.

SMARTY Template
http://smarty.php.net
===========================
What I can say about it, it is simple yet powerful and you can add your own plugin inside their library. Why I use template ? Because of I don't want designers touch my PHp code.

HTML Objects : PHPLibs OOHForm
http://phplib.sf.net
============================
All textarea,text fields,drop down and submit button generated using this library. Why I prefer them ? Because of built in javascript checking features. I've succesfully made SMARTY and OOHForm working together.One more thing, Sanisoft just released their apps's plugin for phplibs

of_cal ( calendar Plugin )
http://www.sanisoft.com/ofcal/index.php3

of_wysiwyg : An addon to the OOH Forms Library is released. It is a WYSIWYG HTML Editor which can be used as a form element. Download it here :-

Database Abstraction Layer : PHPLIB DB SQL
http://phplib.sf.net
==============================
There's a lot of DB abstraction layer out there like PEAR, ADODB, but I prefer PHPLIBS's DB SQL layer. Very easy to use.

Session /Cookie
===============================
Haven't decided yet, but currently I use simple session of mine. I thinking of incorporoting PHPLIB's perm & session mgmt.


Most of my libs are using PHPLIBS except for templating engine. Hope this will help.

Hello bazet, welcome to the community.....

I moved your thread to here as the PHP forum is a technical forum where users post questions about problems they are having with thier applications, and we all chip in and try to help.

Although your thread had much info for PHP developers, it had no information in it about any problems you are currently having. Please post all your future chit-chat threads in the lounge forum.
