PHP framework for the rest of us

Orchid is coming with bundled SWFObject

Must be a good feature to many of you! We have bundled insanely famous SWFObject script with Orchid. The Final release will be shipped with it.
And adding SWFObject is just a method call away. In your view call

$app->jsm->addSWFObject();

Orchid comes with Google Chart API

We have added Google Chart API. We have used the excellent GChart Library developed by Malaiac and budled it with Orchid. After some basic modifications it started working fine. So GoogleChart Library will be bundled with orchid
Have a look at the controller

<?
class googlechart extends controller
{
function base(){
$gchart = $this->library->gchart;
$data = array(’01/12′ => 1245,’02/12′ => 895,

Creating a Google Map in Orchid

Here is the code I wrote in View file

<head>
<?
$map = $app->library->gmap;
$map->printGoogleJS();
$map->setMapType("satellite");
?>
</head>
<body>
<?
$map->addGeoPoint(23.700001,90.389999,"Dhaka");
$map->showMap();
?>
</body>

And added a google map API key in app/config/configs.php as

$configs[’google_map_api’]="api key";

And you can see the live demo of this one at http://javapark.net/hasin/orchid/gmaps
