This month’s International PHP Magazine has my article on Yawp; woohoo! :-)
Yawp (for PHP4 and non-strict PHP5) is a single PEAR-compliant class that encapsulates a number of other PEAR classes, and ties them all together with a simple configuration file. When you use Yawp as the base of your application, you get…
* A single easy-to-edit config file
* Automated authentication processing
* Automatic creation of common objects:
o Database abstraction layer
o Disk cache
o Composite logger
o Benchmark timer
o Variable dumper
* Safe accessor methods for PATH_INFO, GET, POST, and configuration values
Be sure the visit the Yawp website for full API and user documentation.
