Rain: IB client/server solution for PHP
Rain is what's behind this site (IBU News). Interfacing PHP (any generic web) within RAIN is just a few lines of PHP code to talk to the Nano_http server. User features:
- DB offloaded (client/server).
- Client side (Drupal) which talks to a number of distributed (federated) servers for high availability.
- Uses powerful and highly performant IB search engine.
- Supports AJAX for a host of features including Scan
- Clickless search: selecting some on a page runs a search in a layer.
Search Server
The server is built around the "nano http[d]" program. Nano_http[d] is open source, covered by a liberal BSD inspired license and written in Python using the IB kernel libs via a Python loadable module.Pre-requisites
- python 2.6[sources available from python.org]
