PHP WorkFlow
Dear All,
I've got a major task of developing a PHP Workflow engine.
Can some one please let me know how to develop the Workflow GUI?
and what software that I should use to develop the GUI of the workflow.
Please visit the following link. My requirement is something similar to this..

I’m not in a position of using Standard software or a tool as this development
is purely for my educational purposes (Postgraduate Project) so I need to develop this GUI from the scratch.
Your input is highly appreciated..
Thanking You.

Perhaps http://www.radicore.org/ can inspire you...
Yes "tmivw" thx this was the main document I folllowed
http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/workflow.html
you are correct but they have not geven the GUI properly.
If i can create this GUI using PHP or some other software technology
like DOT JAVA, that is what im expecting. a simple example would be fine
so that i can start from that.

What does that mean? When you say tools, does that mean you can't use software (like visio, powerpoint, openoffice apps, etc) to create a flowchart? Do you have to use PHP and HTML to "draw" the flowchart?hemantha wrote:But I cant use any tools
I should develop this GUI from the scratch.
If the latter is the case, that is fairly simple. You would need to set some variables in your code and display those vars as flowchart type objects, including all the possible conditions for the workflow. Funny thing, I just got out of a meeting discussing this very topic (workflow charting for an IT project).
I agree with timvw - this doesn't sound possible without some serious hard work and DHTML/javascript knowledge.timvw wrote:You do realise that in usual context php simply generates text, html? And perhaps some images... Tracking mouse-movement etc for drawing is simply not possibe (Unless you use extensions like php-gtk, javascript engines, ...)
I'd be looking at doing this in some other way - if it absolutely has to be done on a website, I'd look at Flash or Java Applets. Apologies that my response is not particularly helpful.
