PHP was pretty young when ARBcheck was made. Laravel didn’t exist, Doctrine was too young, and jQuery was the golden standard in frontend interactivity.
This online research tool built for by Securities Arbitrators Commentators (SAC)’s some unique requirements. I developed a PHP ORM solely for the project. Based on that, ARBcheck had the following features:
In-house admin panel to manage everything under the system including core records, customized/compiled research reports, subscribers and payments.
High-volume import pipelines for CSV and XML data dumps from FileMaker.
Search on top of searches— MySQL full-text combined with DataTables.
jQuery based frontend UI for search, research and document generation.
Excel books compiled for Arbitrator Comparison Reports.
Authorize.net payment integration for subscriptions and one-time upsales.
User registration, authentication, authorization features.
All kinds of PDF transformations and manipulations.
100% Managed Server to support entire workload.
ARBcheck is still running and relevant today after a decade.
