General Purpose Resuable Notification System - PHP class with REST interface

We require a general purpose notification system for integration into various applications. For example, this notification system might be used in a server-monitoring application as well as a social networking application. Consequently it needs to be flexible application that can stand alone or be integrated into a larger body of code. The notification system should be able to insert new notifications through a REST API and by direct access to the script. through a cron job (programming of the cron job is not a part of this job) Data will be stored in a single MySQL table. We will provide the schema as a SQL dump. The notification system must be able to search on any of the database fields The notification system must have flexible output options. We should be able to export retrieved data in the following formats: o Associative Array for use in Smarty o RSS The above outputs should be available both from a REST API and direct script access The notification system also needs to have a capability for generating digest emails This application should be programmed in PHP5/MySQL.? Wherever possible, PEAR classes should be used as we are already making heavy use of PEAR in all our applications. In particular, we make heavy use of * HTML_Quickform * DB_Table * Structures_DataGrid For templating we use Smarty We are moving towards the use of PHPDoc. All functions in this project must be self documenting as per the PHPDoc standard. We will send a stub application with our libs, preferred configuration and methodology. Yes, this is an easy job for the right developer. We are looking to develop a relationship of continuance, for other development work. ## Deliverables Refer to the attached document for a sketch of the idea...
