billb — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 16:03:04 -0600

Updated Oct 29 2008: added 68KB, now BSD

I am not sure why it took me this long to get around to CodeIgniter ... it's a worthy and mature PHP framework but I gravitated to CakePHP for some reason. Maybe it's the CodeIgniter licensing of EllisLab, Inc..

Links - PHP Search Engines

billb — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 14:29:03 -0600

Updated Oct 2 2008: The Mission

There is a decided dearth of good PHP open source search engine solutions, but Sphider seems to be the leading candidate these days - "a lightweight web spider and search engine written in PHP, using MySQL as its back end database".

Links - PHP Rule Engines

billb — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:14:08 -0600

Updated: Sept 24 2008: more links, RAP

A very thin category at the moment, but the new Drupal Rules project may help to fill it out.

The RAP project has a simple forward and backward chaining inference engine using networks of relationships rather than condition/action statements like a true rule engine.

Links - PHP Workflow/Process Engines

billb — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:29:00 -0600

Galaxia is an activity-based workflow application, where the processes and the workflows are made of dynamic activities that must be completed to finish a task. Contrast this with a procedural system where each step in the process must be completed in order, and the power of this application becomes clear.
