<title>Overview of application writing</title>

<para>
|
|
We have attempted to make writing application for phpGroupWare as
|
|
painless as possible. We hope any pain and suffering is cause by making
|
|
your application work, but not dealing with phpGroupWare itself.

<title>What does the phpGroupWare API provide?</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.
