I used to love Sourceforge. Now I love PHP Classes.

How can you not love a site that has tons of smart people constantly uploading new classes(I think classes can be called applications in most cases-they’re pretty robust) for PHP that they wrote and that you can have for free? If you haven’t gone there you should. There is so much stuff.I am not saying it is all great.But if you stick to the top 10 new releases to try out you will save yourself wasting time on useless stuff.Sleektabs is one class you should test for yourself.AJAX and PHP. I’ve loaded it up and am going to try it out. I will report my success or failure.

I use this cms called doop to build my web designs around because I like the way it makes html pages dynamically that can be called into the one index.php file and styled with your own css file.So basically you can style countless html pages with just one css file.Very neat and tidy.And then those pages can be opened and edited by whomever. Me and doop were doing really well until I hit the speedbump of needing to use a more complex form inside one of these pages instead of the simple(but wholly functional) one that doop provides in it’s addons folder.The doop default editor’s textarea basically ate the closing tags of the form and this pretty much ate my project.I wasn’t able to fix it until I used filemanager and filezilla to delete this one page and start over.
It fixxed the broken pages problem but didn’t solve how to get my form into one of these pages.I couldn’t use HTML so that was out.So I turned to this open source php form generator to build my form with.It was still an html form but renaming the file extension to .htm and using a php include to call the form worked like a charm.
awesome!
I used to have a link to an example but that is long gone.You’ll just have to imagne how awesome it was to behold.
