PHP Form Classes

I developed a set of PHP5 classes to enable the rapid production of form-based web applications.

Features include…

  • Read/Write database scaffolding
  • Optional (but sexy) AJAX processing
  • Step based session forms
  • Sensible defaults + powerful config
  • Individual field and global error messages
  • Payment gateway integration for checkout forms

There is a impoverished version of these classes on Github. I'm working on full featured code, but much is heavily integrated with a private codebase.

Rafi's Spicebox

As well as initial wireframing, I designed the basket & checkout systems and integrated the payment gateway.

I also developed a trade-only version with highly optimised ordering. Sales have been fantastic and the client delighted.
