What is eZ publish?
eZ publish 3 is a professional PHP application
framework with advanced CMS (content management
system) functionality. As a CMS it's most notable
feature is its revolutionary, fully customizable
and extendable content model. This is also what
makes it suitable as a platform for general PHP
development, allowing you to develop professional
Internet applications fast.
Standard CMS functionality, like news publishing,
e-commerce and forums is already implemented and
ready for you to use. Its stand-alone libraries
can be used for cross-platform, database
independent PHP projects.
eZ publish 3 is database, platform and browser
independent. Because it is browser based it can
be used and updated from anywhere as long as you
have access to the Internet.
