users faced with hosting providers who??™ve yet to upgrade to version 5 still have an opportunity to take
advantage of a powerful PHP framework.
The Solar Framework
Solar (http://solarphp.com/), an acronym for simple object library and application
repository for PHP 5, offers an extraordinary number of classes for facilitating rapid
application development. Founded and led by Paul M. Jones, who is also responsible
for several other major PHP projects, including the Savant Template System (http://
phpsavant.com/yawiki/), DB_Table (http://pear.php.net/DB_Table), Text_Wiki
(http://pear.php.net/Text_Wiki), and Yawp (http://phpyawp.com/), Solar benefits from
both the experience gained and lessons learned from Jones??™s active involvement building
other popular development solutions. Text-to-XHTML conversion, role management
through a variety of mechanisms (file-based, LDAP, SQL), multiple authorization mechanisms
(.ini files, htpasswd, IMAP, LDAP, and others), and interesting features such
as social bookmarking components are just a few of the capabilities Solar has to offer.
