Open-source PHP Accounting/General Ledger Implementation

Question

I'm looking for any open-source accounting module that I can include in my Symfony project. I was thinking of writing my own & releasing a plugin, but then I came across 2 solutions:

• http://arias.sourceforge.net/

• http://frontaccounting.net/

Please answer on the lines of...

1. Choosing one of the above, your experience, community support
2. Other alternatives

Thanks a lot!

Solution

Here is my take: - Arias is not being maintained any more, but I didn't invest much energy - FA on the other hand is very comprehensive; don't go by the name, its a basic ERP. You will love to play-around at the demo link. It uses pure PHP, and no framework. One can take a lot of inspiration from here, and use it readily if the license allows.

Sadly, there is nothing for symfony and I will try to contribute.

oh thanks dreeves, but by accounting I meant an implementation of General Ledger.. plus this would be super costly!

Yeah, just thought it was worth mentioning just in case (or for others searching for answers to similar questions). As to cost, my understanding is that with a single account you can create arbitrary sub-accounts. At least for some of the above group accounting sites.
