webERP is written with nice simple PHP - as simple as possible so I could understand it ... it is therefore not a bad program to learn some PHP with. Having read a couple of the articles above - there is no substitute for diving in. PHP is very flexible but webERP scripts try to follow a series of conventions as rigorously as possible - see Coding Style Guide and Project Goals
Of course accounting applications are database applications and an understanding of the data structure is also required to make sense of the code .... the code does use english names for variables and data throughout and error messages are in the code where you'd expect them to be so you can figure out the code quite easily. There is a start on a document that describes the database tables and there is a database diagram∞ showing the relationships between tables for your reference on this wiki.

Description of the function of each of the webERP Scripts This will always be out of date....
I would strongly recommend using an editor with syntax highlighting - this changes the colour and bolds keywords of the programming code so you can see what words are variables and what words are PHP functions etc as they are displayed in a different colour. I use Context Editor∞ in windows there are probably better ones - but this is a free download and is small and fast - working on the same principles as webERP.... in linux I use geany or KATE - K Advanced Text Editor which comes with every distribution of linux. There are other Integrated Development Environments IDEs but I am a purist and these simple tools I have recommended suffice.

With the source code available it is possible to make webERP do pretty much anything you want... BUT you need to understand the program scripts that make up webERP.
All these scripts use the PHP programming language... a tutorial on PHP programming is outside the scope of the webERP documentation but there is extensive information available and many online tutorials:

Getting Started with PHP and webERP Development
With the source code available it is possible to make webERP do most anything... but you need to understand the program scripts that make up webERP. All these scripts use the PHP programming language... a tutorial on PHP programming is outside the scope of the webERP documentation but there is extensive information available and many online tutorials - I think I learned my first PHP off a
tutorial on web-monkey∞ - The main
PHP web-site has a good tutorial∞ also. I have also subscribed to and read many of the .
webERP is written with nice simple PHP - it had to be so I could understand it ... it is therefore not a bad program to learn some PHP with. Having read a couple of the articles above - there is no substitute for diving in. I would strongly recommend using an editor with syntax highlighting - this changes the colour and bolds keywords of the programming code so you can see what words are variables and what words are PHP functions etc as they are displayed in a different colour. I use
Context Editor∞ in windows there are probably better ones - but this is a free download and is small and fast - working on the same principles as webERP.... in linux I use geany or KATE - K Advanced Text Editor which comes with every distribution of linux. There are other Integrated Development Environments IDEs but I am a purist and these simple tools I have recommended suffice.
