Initial Implementation of Gagawa in PHP Now Available!

It's the day after Christmas and not a whole lot is going on at the moment.  My girlfriend is at work, HP is closed for two-weeks, and I'm stuck at home bored out of my mind.  So, I decided to write some code.  I finished up an initial implementation of Gagawa in PHP.  The PHP libraries can be found in the Gagawa Google Code SVN repository.  If you are not familiar with Gagawa, my Gagawa Project page should help explain things a bit.  In a nutshell, the Gagawa library lets you build well-formed HTML and do other awesome things in PHP/Java like this:

$a = new A();

// Note you can daisy chain attribute setters.
$a->setHref( "http://kolich.com" )
  ->setTarget("_blank")
  ->setCSSClass("linkclass")
  ->setId("myid")
  ->setAttribute("other","value");

echo $a->write();

Calling write() on this A (a link/anchor tag) produces a well formed link, an <a> tag, with all of the correct attributes set.  This frees the developer from having to hand write HTML in a web-application.  Even more importantly, Gagawa virtually eliminates missed closing tags and other mundane HTML typos that often haunt web-developers.  See the Gagawa PHP Example for more sample code.
