Agile Toolkit

Hey All.

I'm new here so - very sorry if I'm posting something wrong.

It's been over 12 years since I started PHP development. All through the time I have been keeping something to myself and maybe it's time to share, right?

It is a PHP framework. In short - while other framework put more "Java" into PHP, I try PHP to remain the way it is - Elegant, Fast, Flexible.

Maybe code does talk for itself so here is a small snippet:

$g=$this->add('Grid')
->setSource('person')
->addColumn('text','name')->makeSortable()
->addColumn('text','surname')->makeSortable()
->addColumn('money','avg_salary','average salary')
->addTotals();

$g->dq
->join('salary','salary.person_id=person.id')
->group('person.id')
->field('avg(salary.sum) avg_salary');

$g->addButton('Refresh')->js('click',$g->js()->refresh());
$g->addButton('Change Month')->js('click')->univ()->dialogURL('Change Month','ch_month');

$g->addQuickSearch(array('name','surname'));
$g->addPaginator();

There you have it. This will give you a grid on a standard template with 3 columns, two of them can be sorted and third showing average salary. Query is grouped. Table would have totals underneath and also quick-search field.

This also shows how you could use JavaScript. In above example I am binding click event to buttons. Clicking refresh button will refresh grid using ajax request. Of course this only touches the base. There are more:

MVC support:
$g->setController('Controller_Person');

Authentication(s);
$api->add('BasicAuth')->setSource('user')->usePasswordEncryption('md5')->check();

Forms:
$f=$this->add('Form');
$f->addField('line','Name')->set('Enter your name here')->js('focus')->set('')->unbind('focus');
$f->addField('reference','Country)->setValueList($f->add('Controller_Country'));

What do you think? I can post more examples but most importantly I'd like to hear feedback. Framework is LGPL. www.atk4.com.

Best Regards!
