- | |||
- | The Wattmon is built on a scripting language that is syntactically identical to PHP((PHP is a server-side scripting language designed primarily for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. PHP stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor." | ||

- | =====Why uPHP?===== | ||
- | |||
- | First perhaps it would be good to explain a bit about how and why we chose PHP. The goal of the Wattmon is to provide a highly flexible platform that can be customized for pretty much any application imaginable, keeping in mind very low memory availability. | ||
- | |||
- | The Wattmon interface is primarily browser based, and generates HTML pages on the fly from uPHP scripts. | ||
- | |||
- | ====Challenges==== | ||
- | |||
- | The biggest challenge with the scripting language is its memory limitation. | ||
- | |||
- | ====Benefits==== | ||
