<h1>PRADO Framework for PHP 5 </h1>
<p>Version 3.0a, January 18, 2006<br>
Copyright&copy; 2004-2006 by <a href="http://www.pradosoft.com/">PradoSoft</a><br>
All Rights Reserved.

<p>PRADO is a component-based  and event-driven framework for Web application
  development in PHP 5. </p>
<p>Components following the PRADO protocol are highly configurable and reusable.
  Properties defining the basic features of a component can be configured in specifications,
  templates or code. New components can be developed by either inheriting an existing
  component class or composing several components together. The work of using
  a component amounts to placing the component tag on the page template, configuring
  component properties, and writing handler functions to respond to component
  events.</p>
<p>PRADO shares many similarities with ASP.NET and other RAD tools for Windows
  GUI development, such as Borland Delphi. In particular, it supports event-driven
  programming, viewstate maintenance, javascript, template, form validations, theme/skin,
  etc.</p>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<p>The sole requirement for PRADO is PHP 5.0.4 or higher. It has been tested
with Apache 2.0 on both Windows XP and RedHat Linux.</p>
<h2>Installation</h2>
<ul>
  <li> Unpack the distribution file using &quot;unzip&quot; command on Linux or
    &quot;winzip&quot; program on Windows.</li>
  <li> Copy all the files and directories under the unpacked &quot;prado&quot;
    directory to the DocumentRoot of the Web server (or a subdirectory of that).</li>
  <li> Browse the URL, http://&lt;Web-server-address&gt;/requirements/index.php, to see
    if your Web server configuration satisfies the requirement for using PRADO.</li>
  <li> The directory &quot;framework&quot; contains the core code of PRADO.</li>
  <li>The directory &quot;docs/manual&quot; contains the PRADO API documentation
    in HTML format.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Included Demos</h2>
