** DLIBS V0.4 **

Authors:
	Luca Marchetti

** Philosophy **
DLibs is a simple framework we are building for our web-applications. The phylosophy behind is to build a simple and flexible framework, that aims to help the developer in all the basic operations and leaves the developer the maximum flexybility to choose how to develop the projec. We can say that the main rule we have to keep in mind developing this framework in KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)

** Licence **

** Prerequisite **
- PHP5 (no php4 compatibility, sorry)
- Teorically any webserver that runs PHP5 (Tested on Apache 1.3)

** Installation instruction **
Just move the dir in your include path and go. Just know that the framework needs that you set the include path on the DLibs root. see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-include-path.php to see how to do it without modify the php.ini file.

to run unit tests you need to set up and configure a DB, but I think that in this phase you have only to use it if you need it, or contact dlibs@dsign.it if you want to help us develop the library.


** Documentation **
The project is still in a internal and early phase of development, so it lack  of documentation. Documentation will be produced in future, but we think that unit tests are a nice&good documentation indeed.
