PHP Classes – WAPL code released July 31st, 2009

In order to make PHP developers lives a lot easier when coding for mobile, the dev team at Wapple has released a new package to PHP Classes.

The classes do all of the hard work for you – communicating with Wapple’s web services and providing functions to build WAPL for you. It’s up to date with the current schema too so by using this class it’s impossible to build invalid markup!
