Open-source PHP Accounting/General Ledger Implementation

Hi, 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:

Thanks a lot!

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.

I don't know if it's an option to outsource the accounting but if any of the following have APIs then they could possibly solve your problem:

I believe they let you create arbitrary (sub)accounts and issue IOUs and transfers between the accounts, like for keep track of who owes who what among a group of people.

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.
