PHPortal
PHPortal is a PHP application development environment similar to Zope. It is a pipeline or tunnel application that can help you quickly create dynamic Web applications such as portal and intranet sites. It comes with membership, search, news, and more. Its easy-to-use tools allow teams to productively and safely work together. It provides access to databases and other legacy data. Its support for Web standards such as SMTP, POP, FTP, and XML-RPC allows you flexibility and interoperability. It consists of a number of components which work together to provide a complete, yet flexible, application server package. It includes an XML-RPC server, an object-oriented database schema, a search engine, a database virtual file mapping system, a Web page templating system, a Web-based development and management tool, and comprehensive extension support.

Hi Mystran,
The latest version 01.3. has multiple domain session/cookie tracking. It hasn't been tested on multipel servers only only multiple domains on same server.
This feature still needs more testing. It is only used now for global page logging.
In the next release 0.1.4 (members features release). I am focusing on one table for global users. This is used cross domain and cross application per Xpc Instance to allow for a MSFT "passport" like feature.
Enterprise
For enterprise level there one thing that is MUST. Session handling routines that share sessions between to independent webserver with locking when there is multiple HTTP request at once.
Why ? Because if you want 24/7 service, you want to run it on at least 2 servers (with a local director or something) and not lose sessions if you have to shutdown one of them).
PHPortal (The application formerly known as XPC)
XPC has been renamed to PHPortal.
PHPortal had been a long time project of http://dansteinman.com he has given me permission to use the name and I have acquired the domain http://phportal.org (not much there now).
PHPortal is 100% browser-based through-the-web WDE (Web Development Environment). Here we are specifically focused on rapidly Building portable, resuable and secure PHP applications.
Notes on the version 0.1 release
the next version is the first alpha 0.1
it will focus on the front end and the admin without too much glamour. Products will be missing. yet a web based setup will be added. The XPC admin emulates the Zope admin and there is therefore a lot to do. As being the sole developer on XPC this willl unfortunately take a lot of time.
