Dextar is a collection of PHP libraries. At first it started with the DexMail project, but it was halted
since the main developers lacked time. As many started to show interrest in the theme and multilingual functions of DexMail
we decided to break it out to it's own library.
Dextar currently only contains the DexGUILib and the remnants of the original DexMail project,
although it's likely that DexGUILib will continue to evolve as well as totally new libraries.
The entire point of the Dextar Libraries is to make web application development using PHP easier and more powerful.
If you have suggestions on already existing Dextar libraries or ideas on new libraries (perhaps you want to add your own lib to the
Dextar collection) just join the Dextar project community on
SourceForge Dextar project site.
This project is on ice, but if you're still interrested in it go to Dextar project sites
file section and download released files.
Features:
- DOM implementing XML-compatible tag library.
- Totally separates HTML design and PHP code.
- Applies object orientation to web GUI's.
- Easy to create language independent GUI.
- Data presentation tags with loop/list and if-testing capability.
