P4A is a PHP framework, a software containing libraries, modules and widgets used to build applications that will be used with a web browser connected to the net.

With P4A you'll be able to develop web applications writing code as you would do with the most evolved rapid development tools. The result will be an application that the user will use with the same feeling that he would have with a classical client application.

You won't have to worry about creating the graphic interface for your projects because P4A has a nice and client graphic theme.

Here are some key features of "P4A":
Written in the PHP programming language
Compatible with PHP 4.3.x, Apache 1.3.x or 2.0.x web server on Linux/Windows operating systems
Integration with PEAR libraries
Easy integration with the database servers supported by PEAR::DB library (dBase, FrontBase, InterBase, Informix, Mini SQL, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle 7/8/9, ODBC, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Sybase)
Automatic database data type identification and consequent functionalities for automatic formatting and unformatting (integers, decimals, floats, date and time formats, booleans) coherent with the national locale settings
Many user interface elements (widgets) such as single line or multiple lines text fields with advanced rich WYSIWYG text editing support, checkboxes, single/multiple selection fields, tables, buttons etc...
3 ways to anchor widgets on masks (grid, absolute positioning canvas, sequential relative positioning frame)
Extended usage of UTF-8 encoding. Anyway you can change the codepage to reflect your code/data
Many locales supported (cs_CZ, de_CH, de_DE, du_NL, en_GB, en_US, es_ES, et_EE, fr_CH, fr_FR, it_CH, it_IT, pt_BR, ro_RO, ru_RU)
