* RAP - RDF API for PHP
* XML_FOAF, PEAR

!Why not bare bones RAP?
RAP is too hard to work with, it provides all of the needed power and functionality, but this means that it tends to get a bit complex to deal with.

!What does XML_FOAF do?
Its a parser and creator of FOAF files. It was written by [David Shafik|http://beta.plink.org/profile/26b2e3834d83a5ca3fc81e5a942862f7a2bcb653] (Plink), and is currently not ''stable''.

Its really easy to use:
<verbatim>

!Parsing
Parsing isn't so hard either:

!How will the plugin(s) work?
# FoafViewerPlugin is embedded in a normal phpwiki page, with default arguments coming from $_GET varibles.
# FoafMakePlugin will get some kind of user id from the database, and retrieve any stored information about the user - outputting as FOAF.

!Installing PEAR / XML_FOAF
The XML_FOAF PEAR library will not be included with phpwiki, so you have to install the PEAR 
library by your own and be sure that the PEAR path is in the include_path.

Reason: XML_FOAF is based on XML_Parser and XML_Tree, but phpwiki uses its own XML parser and XML 
tree representation, so it would be unneccesary and incompatible duplication of the same thing.

See: http://pear.php.net/package/XML_FOAF
PHP Version: PHP 4.3.0 or newer
PEAR Package: XML_Tree 1.1 or newer
PEAR Package: XML_Beautifier 0.2.2 or newer

PEAR is dead simple to install.
!! Win32
<verbatim>
Start > Run > Command.com
cd\
cd c:\php
go-pear
</verbatim>
Follow your nose for a bit. I'm sure you can blunder through it. Next, install the needed modules.
<verbatim>
pear download XML_FOAF
pear download XML_Tree
pear download XML_Beautifier
pear upgrade-all
pear install XML_Tree
pear install XML_Beautifier
pear install XML_FOAF
</verbatim>
Now, chances are, you won't get away with it all this easy, but if you can't get PEAR to install XML_FOAF (no ''stable'' package available), then follow these steps next
# Download [XML_FOAF 0.2|http://pear.php.net/get/XML_FOAF-0.2.tgz]
# Extract XML_FOAF-0.2.tgz/XML_FOAF-0.2/FOAF/ to C:\php\pear\XML\FOAF
# Extract documentation to c:\php\pear\docs\

One other thing: make sure your php.ini points to the right location in the ''include_path'' directive!
