Not only do we use Open Source software, we also contribute. Most of our contributions are in the form of bug fixes and feature enhancements to existing Open Source software. But we do have some modules and standalone software available.

PHP Scripts are scripts written in the PHP language, to perform server-side processing of web pages. Most of our scripts are defined using PHP Classes, which provide better modularity and namespace control than collections of procedures or functions.

FormSnarfer.php processes POST variables from a submitted HTML FORM. At present, it (optionally) generates an email containing FORM values entered by the web visitor, and, after processing, either generates a "Thank You" page or redirects the visitor to another page. Configuration Elements, passed in a PHP associative array, control what happens with the processed data; this is both more secure and more flexible than encoding configuration parameters in hidden FORM elements. FormSnarfer is designed as a PHP Class, instead of a collection of procedures. Classes provide much better namespace and scoping control, as well as enhancing modularity and encapsulation. The documentation page contains more details.

PHP Extensions are modules that can compiled into the PHP interpreter to provide additional "built-in" functions.

This metaphone function can be linked into PHP and used just like any other built-in function. The metephone algorithm is similar to soundex; you can use it to match words for which you don't know the correct spelling. It is available for three versions of PHP. PHP 4.0 now comes with a metaphone function.
