Africa's OSS/Linux All Blogs

I'm busy developing online shop solution in PHP which client can rent for a monthly payment, service like this is called ASP or Application Service Provider

Idea is to use existing Linux Shop as template and add administrative interface so non-technical user can use it

Data will be stored in XML files so backing up entire directory will backup entire system

As bonus will add free advertising on FindSA for shop owners

We have a new search engine which targets South Africa

Reminds me of google.co.za

Advantage is that it did index all my pages unlike google which only indexed half
Disadvantage is that pages in its cache are over one month old

It might be better than google.co.za if it can index pages quicker and be more complete

It uses PHP and most likely LAMP platform for its infrastructure

Quite impressive technical achievement

I have discovered PHP about month ago
I knew of its existence but never had a serious look at it

To my surprise it's mostly C language !

I learned C 13 years ago so today I know 80% of PHP ;-)
