What is the Yana PHP-Framework?

"Yana" freely translates to: "vehicle" or "means of transport" - for the way of an idea to it's realisation.

This software is a development-platform for building web-applications in PHP, AJAX and SQL. The framework provides beginners with a number of pre-installed programs: guestbook, web-log, filters to protect your applications from unsolicited bulk messages and a search engine for your web site. Advanced developers are provided with a powerful class library, ready-made standard components, database API coupled with a code generator, to produce a ready-made standard application from your data model. Also included is a virtual database system, that may replace a real DBMS where needed. Esp. useful during development phases with frequent changes to the data structure. In addition there is a skinable template engine, with modular multi-language templates and numerous extensions. It may be run on any standard web server with PHP 4 or 5, an intranet groupware-server, or a portable server program on USB stick or CD/DVD.
