WebSmart PHP is used to create PHP applications that run on the IBM i and other PHP supported platforms such as Windows, Linux and Unix. It is the most productive tool for RPG or PHP programmers to create PHP applications.

BCD Introduces WebSmart Mobile - Included in WebSmart ILE and PHP

WebSmart PHP is more than just an IDE and editor, it is a rapid application development tool that generates nonproprietary PHP code and includes:

  • Intelligent DB2/400, MySQL and Oracle Program Templates and Wizards that guide you through creating fully functional professional looking PHP web applications. The templates do the ground work for you and let you focus on the business logic unlike other IDEs that start with a blank slate.
  • IBM i PHP extensions and support for both IBM i PHP toolkits help you leverage existing RPG code and skills.
  • Complete IDE with PHP debugger, syntax checking, Intelliprompting and organization of 5,000+ PHP functions.
  • Runs with Zend Server if hosting on IBM i.
  • Visual HTML Editor as well as built in MVC which separates the HTML from the PHP.
  • Database Repository for defining your business and presentation rules at the file level.
  • Uses same IDE as WebSmart ILE and Clover Query.
  • Includes free Nexus Portal (with paid maintenance), which provides a secure deployment framework for your PHP apps including secure log in and a dynamic menu system with drop down menus and menu trees.
  • Includes free SmartCharts to visually represent database information in Flash Charts (bar, pie, gauges...)for KPIs and Executive Dashboards.
  • Supports anything you can do in PHP including Web Services for SOA, XML, Ajax, Google Maps...
  • Unlimited World Class Technical Support during your evaluation and while on maintenance. Your call will be answered by a person who will be able to help you with your question.

"WebSmart PHP has been a great asset in our PHP development. It has served two purposes: (1) It shortcuts the coding process by providing you with an easliy modifiable working module once you complete the wizard and (2) it is a great learning tool because it teaches you lots of PHP techniques just by looking at the code that is generated. In addition, your technical support is the best I have ever dealt with in our industry and I've been at this for over 28 years!"
