auLib

The auLib package is meant to give me a common set of functions to use when working on multiple websites, and also avoid having multiple copies of essentially the same code.

The auLib package is available for download as new layout classes from the track7 scripts page. It requires PHP 5, but could be modified to use PHP 4 if you know some php.

The first site up on the auLib classes was track7 in January 2007. That ordeal was both the first test of the library as well as a lot of tuning to the functions they contain. They will likely continue to be changed as they are used for more and more sites.
