New PHP Framework ideas!

[litewarez]

Heya everyone!

need your help here.. as you know ive been doing some tutorials on a PHP framework that will be open source but i want some ideas for it!

So far heres what i have!

• PHP 5 OOP
• Database tools
• Input Handler
• Output Handler
• Registry System
• Smarty Template Engine
• Application based

This is just some of the main features !

How the application will work..

The idea behind this application framework will be application based!

Applications are like modules there will be a folder for the applications!

applications can be anything from fully fledged forum to a simple addon for any other application!

so lets say you have a forum application installed and ready! you then download another application thats the moderator control panel!

And lets say you wanted a blog as well

you just create a file called blog.php and then load the blog application into the system and then the applications programming will do the rest !

ok so heres where you come in!

i want ideas for the framework, for example things that you find hard to do with PHP i want to make it simple for you so let me know!

any other input will be appreciated!

thanks

I never really found anything hard in php as its most straight forward. Recently however curl been giving me problems. Not sure if it counts.

[litewarez]

yea a simplified curl module can be added !

to make it easy ill try make it as simple as file_get_contents(); :/

Alright thanks lite your the best

[litewarez]

Sp far its looking pretty powerfull!

heres an example of the way the application system is working out!

we have a folder called system/applications/ and in there goes the application!

the application im building rounds is an application called sample!

so in the root index.php we have this

<?php
//Define root base fo security
define('BASE_PATH',str_replace("\\","/",dirname(__FILE__)));

/*
    * Include the framwork system
*/
include BASE_PATH . '/system/Startup.php';

//Load the sample application
Registry::get('Application')->load('sample');
Registry::get('Application')->load('ddl');

Registry::get('Output')->send();
?>

and in the file based at system/applications/sample/load.php we have

<?php
if(!defined('BASE_PATH')){exit;}

/*Define the application path*/
define('APPLICATION_ROOT_PATH',str_replace("\\",'/',dirname(__FILE__)));

/*Grab the config for the tempate so we can reassign it*/
$template = Registry::get('Config')->template;

/*Applications own template folders*/
$template->template_dir        = APPLICATION_ROOT_PATH . '/styles/main/';
$template->compile_dir        = APPLICATION_ROOT_PATH . '/styles/main/compile/';
$template->config_dir        = APPLICATION_ROOT_PATH . '/styles/main/config/';
$template->plugins_dir[]    = APPLICATION_ROOT_PATH . '/styles/main/plugins/';

/*Reassign the template config adn reparse it*/
Registry::get('Config')->template = $template;
Registry::get('Template')->parseTemplateConfig();

//here you can output information to the webrowser via all the framework tools we have implied
//...
//..
//.
?>

I never really found anything hard in php as its most straight forward. Recently however curl been giving me problems. Not sure if it counts.

This is a sample application load.php fetching data from a site with all default curl info already set so its just as simple as the url !

<?php
if(!defined('BASE_PATH')){exit;}

//Check framework_version


/*Define the application path*/
define('APPLICATION_ROOT_PATH',str_replace("\\",'/',dirname(__FILE__)));

/*tell the template system what folder were using*/
Registry::get('Config')->template->theme_name = 'proxy';
Registry::get('Template')->reparseTemplateConfig();
//here you can output information to the webrowser via all the framework tools we have implied

//Lets load the curl module

$curl = Registry::get('Module')->load('curl');

$curl->run('http://litewarez.net');
$litewarez = $curl->getData();

//Output to the browser
Registry::get('Output')->send($litewarez);
?>

this module supprts all different methods of curl such as set login credentials http statuses and post data etc for external uploading ...

if you wish to download the code and check it out then feel free to grab the latest source
