UWeb is a collection of tools for creating websites and HTML pages efficiently, written (mostly) in PHP.

I use UWeb for many of my projects, including:

• my websites (e.g. this website and Green Chess);
• my simple HTML games;
• the documentation for many of my programs (including UWeb itself).

This package contains the source code (.php), the default generated .css and .js files, the documentation and test files.

Documentation

The documentation is also included in the above package, under the directory docs/ (starting from docs/uweb.html).

License

UWeb is free software, released under the GNU General Public License 3.0 (GPLv3) or any later version.

This license is also included in the above package, as license.txt.

Compilation

Normally, you don't need to compile UWeb, because it is mostly used in source code form, and those parts that need compiling (the default CSS and JS files, the documentation pages and the tests) are already included in compiled form in the above package.

But if you really want to (re)compile them, you can use the GNU Make utility (or similar):

• make: compile the default CSS and JS files;
• make docs: compile the documentation pages;
• make test: compile the tests (and check those that can be automatically checked);
• make clean: remove all compiled files.

Requirements:

• Compiling requires the PHP command-line interface, at least version 8.0. (But for simply using UWeb, e.g. on a web server, PHP 7 may be sufficient.)
• To run the tests or (re)generate the Makefile, you need my Developer Scripts.
