================

[](#ez-phpframework)

Lightweight PHP framework core — dependency injection, routing, middleware, and database migrations.

[![CI](https://github.com/ez-php/framework/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/ez-php/framework/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.5+
- ext-pdo

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require ez-php/framework
```

What's included
---------------

[](#whats-included)

-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
$app = new \EzPhp\Application\Application(basePath: __DIR__);
$app->register(AppServiceProvider::class);
$app->bootstrap();

$response = $app->handle(\EzPhp\Http\RequestFactory::fromGlobals());
(new \EzPhp\Http\ResponseEmitter())->emit($response);
```

Routing
-------

[](#routing)

### Basic routes

[](#basic-routes)

```
$router->get('/users', fn (Request $r): Response => ...);
$router->post('/users', [UserController::class, 'store']);
$router->put('/users/{id}', fn (Request $r): Response => ...);
$router->patch('/users/{id}', fn (Request $r): Response => ...);
$router->delete('/users/{id}', fn (Request $r): Response => ...);
```

### Route groups

[](#route-groups)

```
$router->group('/admin', function (Router $r): void {
    $r->get('/dashboard', fn (): Response => ...);
    $r->get('/users', fn (): Response => ...);
}, middleware: [AuthMiddleware::class]);
```

### Named routes and URL generation

[](#named-routes-and-url-generation)

```
$router->get('/users/{id}', fn (): Response => ...)->name('users.show');

$url = $router->route('users.show', ['id' => 42]); // '/users/42'
```

### HTTP method override (`_method`)

[](#http-method-override-_method)

HTML forms only support `GET` and `POST`. To send `PUT`, `PATCH`, or `DELETE` from a form, add a hidden `_method` field to a `POST` form:

```

```

The router reads `_method` from the parsed request body and overrides the HTTP method before route matching.

> **Security note:** `_method` is only evaluated for `POST` requests. Because it is read from the parsed body (`$_POST`), it is only effective when the form is submitted as `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` or `multipart/form-data`. JSON requests and requests with other content types are **not** affected.
