Lots of free time = lots of tools

Well it's been a quiet few weeks - not much comming in on the work side, so I've been building up the resources for the next projects. These started with the PEAR Installer GTK version, point and clicky selection of standard PHP libraries, and maybe in the future applications. This ended up including one of my favourite pet ideas a HTML browser in pure PHP, it wouks quite well - renders this page (although no images yet).. After that I thought I'd better start adding some usefull stuff to pear, so db_oo got converted into DB_DataObject, and commited into PEAR's cvs, at the same time I also started packaging up some of the other usefull tools Flexy_Template, which can be found as a package on the new http://docs.akbkhome.com/ site, and the HTML_DataObject_FlexyForms which uses both classes to build a instant templated database interface application, that you can the go off and use as a the basis for any database driven site. To make all this happen it was essential to get a grip of some of those PEAR classes - so PHP_CodeDoc was born to try and answer the problem that most phpdoc output was totally pointless, and souce code on web pages was too difficult to read... - it's basically the best of phpdoc + lxr.. Meanwhile vendingIT (GSM + Vending) continues to move forward - They issued a press release about the cool stuff I was doing with SMS and wireless modems
