What the project described itself as (April 2003)
phpWebThings is a set of PHP modules for creating a cool Web site with user login, news, forum, user messages, downloads, FAQs, and more. It allows the Webmaster to create his own site with freedom, using only the features he wants, and allowing new features to be added easily.
phpDBform is a library to help create a form linked or not to a MySQL or PostgreSQL database, to edit, insert, update and delete data, providing a nice presentation to the user. You start with pre-constructed files, and with little changes you have a working tool.
The main goal of this library is the easy creating of forms: you instance a php class (dbform), choose the right parameters to the constructor, and use its methods to develop the interface, adding textboxes (add_textbox), checkboxes (add_checkbox), textareas (add_textarea) and listboxes (add_listbox) that are linked with other tables to show the values that may go on the field (relational).
Now there is the new phpDBform Report Creator, to generate reports with support for events, formatting and grouping. It is fully customizable to meet your needs, based on objects making it even more easier to implement new features.

2003-03-12 — Ephemerid module and clock sidebox (zvaranka)
I posted a new module and a new sidebox to Paulo Assis, I hope he puts them on the downloads list. The Ephemerid module maintains an ephemerid database that what was occurred before in the history of the world and shows them on basis of the present day. Of course the webportal administrator have to make the content of the database and fill it with data.
