Round Eights

Round Eights is an open source, object oriented, test driven PHP 5.3 library designed to help web application coders tackle common hurdles.

• It's Simple. You can drop it in and start using it immediately. The basic, common functionality is easy to access, but it still offers granularity when you need it.
• It's Well Tested. By making use of PHPUnit's powerful framework, Round Eights uses extensive unit tests to stamp out bugs and ensure solid code.
• It has a "Use-at-Will" Design. Round Eights strives to offer you a common sense solution when you need one, and get out of your way when you don't. This paradigm offers you the freedom to code how you want, rather than constantly having to reference documentation to make sure you're following someone else's standards.
• It's Composition Oriented. When it comes down to the choice between inheritance and composition, Round Eights tries to use composition. This allows for extensive modularity and code re-use. Inheritance is still used when appropriate, but only as a polymorphic enhancement for building object graphs.

Requirements

Round Eights is designed explicitly for PHP 5.3, which has recently been released into the wild. As compared to PHP 5.2, this new version notably includes closures, namespaces, invokable objects, late static binding and phar archives -- all of which are used to set Round Eights apart from other libraries.
