This repo contains the source code for the Form Tools Core. The Core provides the minimal code needed to run Form Tools on your server.

• The master branch contains the latest work being done on 3.1. master is not production ready.
• 3.0.x contains the tip of the 3.0 releases. This is entirely for bug fixes.

Form Tools 3 (2018) was a complete rewrite of the application. Form Tools started back in 2004 and this was the third (and hardest!) rewrite. The goal was to modernize the script: to run on PHP 7, use PDO, update all lib dependencies, introduce tests and pave the way for upcoming changes and features.

Form Tools 2 was the production version from 2010-2018. I took a long, 4-year break during that time to work on other projects, but returned to the Form Tools world in 2016 to revamp the site and code. Form Tools 2 is entirely functional code; FT3 converted everything to object-oriented.

• Everything up to Form Tools Core 2.2.7 supports PHP 4.3 - 5.x.
• Form Tools Core 3.0.0 supports PHP 5.3 and later.

• 3.1 - rewriting the installation/upgrade code so that there's no longer hardcoded bundles of the Form Tools script including those modules/themes we choose, but instead you select whatever components your want during the installation, or later on.
• 3.2 - revamping the UI. Totally new design, upgrading all the front-end code (i.e. moving to React)
• 3.3 - revamping the user permissions to make it roles-based and not have hardcoded "admin" and "client" accounts like now.

Check out TESTS.md. Still in its infancy, but we're getting there.
