One of the more challenging PHP projects I've faced has been developing an online store with the Lightspeed Web Store, an extension of the XSilva Lightspeed POS platform.

With only a small part of the product Open Source (the majority encrypted with Zend Guard) and little documentation available, it was a project marred by complications where common functionality should ordinarily be easy to implement.

Eventually, numerous jQuery and PHP customisations produced the result the client was expecting, and an AJAX-powered Google Maps Store Locator was the icing on the cake.
