New PHP Framework! - Create applications on the fly!

[litewarez]

Heya guys,

Recently im been building a framework system that will help you start your own scripts / applications easy and speed with a framework!

what this will allow you to do is build 1 file with no includes what so ever and have everything set up for you!!

The framework will come with the following

• Config
• Smarty Template Engine
• Session Handlers (File / Database)
• Input Sanitizer
• Output system
• Database (mysql / mssql / mysqli)
• Module system
  
  • Simple Curl
  • Easy emailer (with attachments)
  • Json encoder/Decoder
  • Lots more to be developed

All applications have a custom directory meaning you can build several different applications within the same framework!

It only takes a few minutes to start building an application! heres the steps that you take to get a hello world application

in index.php or whatever file you want to run the hello world application add these lines

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

include BASE_PATH . '/system/Startup.php';

//Load the hello world application
Registry::get('Application')->load('hello_world');
?>

In system/applications create a folder with the same name as the above line witch ion out case is hello_world

system/applications/hello_world/

Inside this folder create a new file called load.php this file will be executed system automatically!

Ok so lets now create the template side of it

In styles/ create a new folder witch for all the template files related to your hello_world application so in our case create a folder called hello_world

Ok now each application requires 3 folders inside



*Compile is where the system compiles all templates
config holds smarty config files if you wish to use them
*Plugins is for smarty plugins percific to your template (plugins for smarty in here will be added to the plugin system)

ok so new create a new template file called index.tpl and add the following code

Hello World

Sweat! now just 1 more file!

create a new file called load.php and save as system/applications/hello_world/load.php

Inside the load.php add the following lines

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

/*Tell the system what template were using*/
applicationSetTemplateFolder('hello_world');

/*parse the tempalate and return it*/
$html = Registry::get('Template')->fetch('index.tpl');

/*Send the html to the browser with compression and everything done for you*/
Registry::get('Output')->send($html);
?>

As simple as that you can create a hello_world application!

Just a layout if the Registry object

Registry::get('Template')->fetch('index.tpl')

This holds all the main framework system data

This fetches a sub object such as Tempalte / Modules / Output / Input

This holds teh method of the object you jsut fetched so if we fetched Input then we cauld use get('id','get',false) and this would return a sanitized $_GET['id'] and return false if not set

This is the param area where you send the method certain parameters

In the applications you can even do for simplicity perposes

$Input = Registry::get('Input');
$Output = Registry::get('Output');
$Session = Registry::get('Session');
$Database = Registry::get('Database');
$Module = Registry::get('Module');
$Template = Registry::get('Template'); 

And these are just some of the features the framework has!

Please update the file a minor bug

find on line 20 of system/engine/session_drivers/file.php

public function read($id)
{
    $sess_file = $this->save_path . "/sess_" . $id;
    return (string) file_get_contents($sess_file);
} 

with

public function read($id)
{
    $sess_file = $this->save_path . "/sess_" . $id;
    if(file_exists($sess_file) && is_readable($sess_file))
    {
        return (string) file_get_contents($sess_file);
    }
    return false;
}

Sounds interesting, I'll have a look at this, thanks.

[litewarez]

be sure to leave feedback and bug reports

[desiboy]

thanks for the quick fix..
I will surely try to create a small app from this framework..
other frame works like Cphp, CI are complicated .your framework ( Name ?) is very easy to use and n00b friendly
and I the curl module

[litewarez]

yea this you just build you app in the applications folder and use Registry to grab the stuff you need!

i tried to make it as simple as possible and if users like it ill create a domain and release with full api and bog tuts etc!

i havent thought of a name atm but if anyone has ideas then be sure to ask me and if i like it then ill use it!

[desiboy]

syntax error in

/*parse the tempalate and return it*/ 
$html = Registry::get('Template')->fetch('index.tpl') 

and for others who are trying, don't forget to chmod 777 the compile directory.

[litewarez]

add the ; << to the end of the line to tell php that that command has ended!
