Development Status 9/30/2005

Hello everyone. It is going to be another month before the initial release. The code has been refactored to facilitate maintenance. From a development standpoint the main problem with a direct port is related to byte manipulation and unicode support in PHP versus Java. Currently the code uses a C extension for the unicode/byte level manipulation in the form of resources. This all will be transparent to the end user of the library. The rest of the code will be 100% php code. You will need to be running PHP 5 to use the library since it uses some of the OOP features that are only available with PHP5. If you are interested in the code, take a look in the cvs repository...Lastly, I haven't had much time to work on the website since I have been focusing on porting code (about 5000 lines of itext java code/week). Please be patient, it is coming...
