Cadre PHP Web Framework - Summary

This group is not part of the GNU Project.

cadre is a PHP framework for developing large business applications.
It currently supports PostgreSQL as the database back end (although
this is extensible).  We (Cronosys, LLC) have invested two and a half
years in this framework and applications based on this framework.

Aspects we are particularly proud of include the field-type-dispatch
mechanism which allows you to choose the type of a field and have an
associated class handle all display formatting, edit formatting, TeX
formatting (for PDF reports), validation; the PDF report code; generic
$PATH_INFO/uri dispatch to the appropriate class; user permissions
which can be as fine grained as per-user, per-screen,
per-branch/location, per-action but which also includes templates
which can be applied to the user; a messaging framework with support
for sending messages to users via email, faxing them, or using system
messages, which are email-like messages but within the system; generic
calendar with pluggable events; users and group handling.

The framework also includes shell scripts to automate some work on the
system, including pubishing to a remote server over an SSH connection,
generating documentation from the PHP source and from the database
schema, and regression testing.

It also includes a C parser for the PostgreSQL `CREATE FUNCTION'
statement which is used by publish scripts to create, drop, and verify
functions from individual .sqlf files.
