MaxLocate - early hints
MaxLocate will be an awesome starter script for websites using advanced location and search features. Geo ip functions make finding a restaurant close to you a cinch! Build national directories of listings by category then search for the closest restaurants, hotels, or car repair.
While actual coding of this project has not begun, plans are in place to deliver a script that is both friendly to programmers and Admins as well as users of the site. Plans are in place to make this work with several templating systems and that it provides absolutely 100% standards compliant code.
My intention is to make this so that the only requirement is PHP. If all goes as planned, it will be independent of any database management system. The goal is a work of Zen in the PHP world with a being that exists all on it’s own. The success of this project will be the ability for any designer to interface the script in any way they feel comfortable. Give it your own look or choose one of the beautiful designs we include with the download.
MaxLocate will be a revolutionary new product for an underserved niche of the web. Stay tuned to find out more as this project moves forward. I expect the first official release by December 2005.
