Nutex PHP Framework
Nutex PHP Framework
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Introduction
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A Secure and Modular PHP Framework that uses XML-RPC and HTTPS for remote calls.
It uses the Smarty Template Engine to implement the admin part that has mysql
and multilanguage support. It has its own apache+php+mod_ssl to increase the
security. It can be used to implement a system to manage many servers or to
get infos from those servers. Sudo is used to do stuff that only root can do.
Currently it was tested only with SuSE 8.0. Later it should work with other
Linux Distros, FreeBSD and other *nix.
This is what I did in my spare time, trying to learn more about php,
security, xml-rpc, https and modularity. I intended to use all this
in a project that can be used to do stuff remotly, like managing users,
apache virtualhosts and so on.
This is a "learning by doing" project so please give me a chance. :)
In case you have any ideas, complains and so on please let me know.
Please take a look at the source code as it is documented and it
contains more features that are not listed here.
