It comes with an automatic PHP class generator so the developer can quickly create classes to customize utilizing databases and keeping the flexibility of XML.

    So this is essentially a wrapper for MySQL? How does this software deal with malformed XML in the database?

    What's up with capableweb.com? Does the MySQL+XML combo not allow capital letters?

    for developers:
    this site is built with with the mysql-xml set of classes using mysql you can download these classes here. there is a class generator to auto build classes that use these libraries here or it is available in the download package. if you have any ideas or would like to contribute please email us at contribute@capableweb.com.

    Am I the only one thinking, "So what, 440 lines of PHP"?

    Big deal.
    • I wonder why this is so important. Whats it doing on slashdot? Somebody came out with a somewhat un-exciting open source project, and they used the GPL in a questionable manner. What else is new?

  • From the site: It is open-source (under the well know GPL) and available for non-commercial use. If you need a commercial license please email...

    Ok, so someone enlighten me: Can a GPL'd program be released for non-commercial use with a separate license for commercial use, or does the GPL pretty much cover all use of the code? I checked the GPL FAQ [gnu.org], and the only case that comes close [gnu.org] says that the license under which you received the code is the license that controls how you use the code. But that doesn't really cover the case where "This code is GPL for non-commercial use." Does the GPL permit that?

    • suppose i am employee of some company that wants to use it under the gpl, if it's strict gpl i can license it to my company with only the restrictions of the gpl, now if he's using a modified gpl that another thing, i suppose he means that if you want a different license so the commercial company doesn't have to release the code
    • "Does the GPL permit that?"

      The author(s) may licens their product(s) anyway they want, even in different versions.

      For another example of this, look at Qt (www.trolltech.org). I'd say that it is a nice way to make money, while still contributing to the open source community.
    • Ugh, after reading the other replies I must chime in with a resounding, NO, NO, NO!

      It does not matter what they say on their page; if they have in fact released the project under the GPL, it can be used for commercial projects royalty free -- as long as those commercial users also uphold the GPL.

      It is true that the copyright holder can release it under any license that they want to. This has nothing to do with that. If however they make their software available under an unmodified GPL -- which does permit commercial use -- then they can not modify that with another statement. Again, if they're releasing it under the GPL, it can be used for commercial use.

      Trolltech was [mis-]used as an example. Trolltech, by releasing their code under the GPL does allow Qt's commercial use, royalty free, so long as the software that links to it conforms to the GPL -- in this case meaning that said software is also under the GPL.

      However, said programmers can dual-license the code under the GPL (which allows for GPL compliant commercial use) and anything else. In this case, what Trolltech does is makes it so that owners of commercial licenses do not have to release their code in compliance with the GPL -- i.e. they don't have to release their code at all.

      Oh, did I mention that the GPL allows commercial use? ;-)

      This is basicly the business model that MySql uses. You can use MySql for free as long as you use it within the limitations of GPL, otherwise you'll have to acquire a commercial license. Kind of neat idea, even though I'm not sure what RMS thinks of it... :)

    It says that the site was built with MySQL-XML. Does MySQL-XML eat punctuation or something?

    It's easier to download the source and just read that than it is to read the comments and documentation about this project. I just did. My take is that it's more of an XML application, not really any kind of fundamental change to XML, PHP, or MySQL. It seems to be a set of table definitions and some PHP stuff to take in XML, throw it in the MySQL DB.

    It doesn't seem to take advantage of any of the high-speed MySQL features - this could work with any DB, I'd bet.

  • When do we get Z39.50 support, then?

  • It comes with an automatic PHP class generator

    What, no functions? What about us who don't like OOP?

    Did I miss something, or did he not, by using GPL, just void the non-commercial restriction?
