><P
> The phpGroupWare API handles session management, user/group management,
has support for multiple databases, using the PHPLIB database abstraction
method, we support templates using the PHPLIB Templates class, a file
system interface, and even a network i/o interface. On top of these
standard functions, phpGroupWare provides several functions to give
you the information you need about the users environment, and to properly
plug into phpGroupWare.
