WebACT - PHP Web Integration for ACT!
Accessing ACT! databases over the web is currently clumbersome, expensive, and just plain proprietry. WebACT is a native PHP extension for Interact's ACT! Contact Management software, designed to hook into any number of ACT! database simultaniously and return the content as completely standards compliant XML. It has NO requirement of Microsoft's IIS web server, and is designed to be used with Apache Web Server, although will work with any web server that provides PHP support.
The PHP Way
WebACT is fully customisable by any end users, as they full access to the PHP scripts. All the ACT! views are XHTML templates styled with CSS. Unlike other ACT! web interfaces, there are no proprietry client side requirements whatsoever, and the only client side system requirement is a standards compliant web browser, such as Mozilla Firefox. Because of this, it is perfectly possble to deploy WebACT to Linux or MacOSX users as well as Windows. Any number of ACT! database can be exposed with no pre-configuration neccesary other than adding the database name and path to the WebACT configuration file.
WebACT Release Date
We haven't yet implemented all the functionality required by most ACT! users, so as we do we will post more information here as a release date approaches.
