This month's International PHP Magazine has my article on Yawp; woohoo! :-)

Yawp (for PHP4 and non-strict PHP5) is a single PEAR-compliant class that encapsulates a number of other PEAR classes, and ties them all together with a simple configuration file. When you use Yawp as the base of your application, you get...

    * A single easy-to-edit config file
    * Automated authentication processing
    * Automatic creation of common objects:
          o Database abstraction layer
          o Disk cache
          o Composite logger
          o Benchmark timer
          o Variable dumper
    * Safe accessor methods for PATH_INFO, GET, POST, and configuration values

Be sure the visit the Yawp website for full API and user documentation.
