History

Description:

The first version of FormHandler was made during Teye's first internship for school. He was doing an education for system/network manager, but during his internship computer systems did not catch his interests. However, PHP took. Programming took. The company where he was doing his internship wanted a stock-manage program. And so he begun...

Soon he found out that making forms in PHP and HTML is a very time taking job. You can imagine that a stock-manage program consists out 50% of forms. So, time to take some action: The first version of FormHandler was build. This version has grown but it's structure is still the same. It is still used in the stock-manage program (still in the download section (dutch!)).

Over time FormHandler has been completly rewritten multiple times. Version 1 (which consisted out of one file) was so succesful that he decided to publish it on the internet. He recieved many requests and FH1 grew fast. However, it became to big for one file (in his opinion). He started to write a new version, but it was so complicated that it never was published. He was not happy with version 2 so he decided to make a new version. Version 3 was born. The structure is much better and he was very happy with it.

In 2007 Teye decided he didn't have the time to maintain this package and placed a news item about selling the package on this site. Since a lot of our projects are depending on FH3, we wanted to ensure FormHandler stayed in good hands so PHP-GLOBE became owner of this package.

Of course there are still requests for new functionality and sometimes a bug is found. So, it's still in development...
