The framework's core is a single file and only a few kilobytes in size, so small, that it fits on your clipboard! Unlike other existing OpenSource PHP frameworks, PHPPE was written with [security](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#security), [MVC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller), [KISS principle](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle) and no dependency at all in mind. As being a micro-framework, it won't solve all of your web-development oriented tasks, but will definitely solve the most common ones and make your life easier. It's not bloated, and with simplicity cames stability and high performance. Features -------- [](#features) This ~90k bytes of PHP code will give you: - [Single file deployment](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#install). - Stand alone environment, optional dependencies only. - [PHP Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) compatibilty - [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de) compatibility with [100% code coverage](http://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/coverage) - [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) compatibilty - [Can be used](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#usage) as CGI (Apache and nginx), from CLI and also as a library just out-of-the-box - Clean and well documented API, searchable [library reference](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#phppe_core) with examples - Scalable [cluster architecture](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#cluster) to face huge loads - Very low footprint, ideal on small computers such as [Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.org/) - Highly modular, easy to expand [structure](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#directory) with [Class autoloader](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#phppe_classmap) - Self consistency check and diagnostics (even fix!) - [Environment auto-detection](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#phppe_client) (like base url, browser's language, timezone and screen size) - Clever, regular expression capable and filterable, class::method [routing](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#routing) mechanism - PDO driven database layer with transparent on demand scheme installation - Convient and easy to use [ORM model](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#models) interface - Fast and safe [templater](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#views) system for views - [Powerful caching](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#cache) with integrated [memcached](http://memcached.org/), APC/APCu and compressed file support - Automatic form data validation and security checks - Access control lists - Audit logging to files or syslog - [Monitoring support](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#monitoring) (nagios can get performance and status info easily from it's output) - Thumbnail generation and image manipulation support (with libGD) - BiDi multilanguage support - Built-in [Content Server](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#contents) for CMS support - Uses View layer to detect Models (flexibility you've never seen) - [Benchmarking](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#benchmark) capability Of course one single file is limited, so here's the [PHPPE Pack](http://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/phppe3_core.tgz) (~96KiB) to save the day and give you an easy start with configuration registry, email services, user management, SQL Query Builder etc. For full CMS capability you'll also need the Content Editor in [PHPPE CMS](http://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/phppe3_cms.tgz) (46KiB), because PHPPE Core on it's own only serves contents. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - At least PHP 7.0 - SSH terminal access (use ssh or PuTTY) - Apache or nginx with php-fpm on server side - Any HTML5 compatible browser on client side - No more than 768KiB free space if you install all extensions Installation with Packagist --------------------------- [](#installation-with-packagist) 1. Create a new project that ships production version of the PHPPE framework with ``` $ composer create-project "bztsrc/phppe3" $ mv phppe3 myProject ``` Installation without Packagist ------------------------------ [](#installation-without-packagist) There are many ways to install PHPPE if you don't want Packagist. You can use git, Composer alone, or use curl/wget. For detailed instructions and alternatives see [documentation](http://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#install). 1. Create a webserver's document root in your project root ``` $ mkdir public ``` 2. Download the framework Core ``` $ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bztsrc/phppe3/master/public/index.php >public/index.php ``` 3. Run diagnostics mode to extract directory structure, including vendor/phppe/Core (note that root privilege is only required for chown and chgrp calls) ``` $ sudo php public/index.php --diag ``` 4. If you want the full functionality in vendor/phppe/Core, also install PHPPE Pack with ``` $ composer update ``` or without Composer ``` $ curl https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/phppe3_core.tgz | tar -xz -C vendor/phppe/Core && sudo php public/index.php --diag ``` Content Management ------------------ [](#content-management) The Core serves as content provider and can't modify contents on it's own. For that, install the Content Editor extension with ``` $ composer require "phppe/CMS" ``` or ``` $ curl https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/phppe3_cms.tgz | tar -xz -C vendor/phppe/CMS ``` In a scalable environment only one dedicated Content Editor required. See [documentation](http://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#contents) for more details on load balancing. Extensions ---------- [](#extensions) If you want a web based interface for [extension management](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#extensions), install ``` $ composer require "phppe/Extensions" ``` or ``` $ curl https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/phppe3_extensions.tgz | tar -xz -C vendor/phppe/Extensions ``` This will give you the standard webadmin feeling you're used to with other frameworks, but unlike the others, this works in a secure way over SSH. Developing ---------- [](#developing) Even if you don't want to contribute to the framework, just using it or writing your own Extensions, it's worth installing the [Developer](https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/#developer) package! That will give you a nice templater to generate your php files, an utility to create language dictionaries out of your code, and also ships a minimal, PHPUnit compatible testing framework. ``` $ composer require "phppe/Developer" ``` or ``` $ curl https://bztsrc.github.io/phppe3/phppe3_developer.tgz | tar -xz -C vendor/phppe/Developer ``` This will provide you utilities like ``` $ php public/index.php create model myExtension myModel $ php public/index.php create controller myExtension myController $ php public/index.php create route myExtension myurl myController myAction $ php public/index.php lang myExtension en $ php public/index.php tests run $ php public/index.php mkrepo ``` You can use [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/bztsrc/phppe3) to install the whole repository with all extensions: ``` $ composer create-project "bztsrc/phppe3:dev-master" ``` License ------- [](#license) PHPPE Core, PHPPE Pack, PHPPE CMS, PHPPE Extensions as well as PHPPE Developer are free and OpenSource softwares, licensed under [LGPL-3.0+](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/).
