The Frood
=========

[](#the-frood)

*Authors* [Jens Riisom Schultz](mailto:ibber_of_crew42@hotmail.com), [Bo Thinggaard](akimsko@tnactas.dk)*Since* 2011-06-20

The Frood is a simple VC framework library (The VC from MVC).

It will help you to:

- Structure your code in controllers and actions.
- Structure your template files, in a consistent way.
- Create entirely new full fledged (M)VC modules.
- Communicate with other Froody modules without the overhead and hassle of http requests.

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

- From version 1.2.1 we have switched to [semantic versioning](http://semver.org/) (version 2.0.0-rc.1)

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

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.2.7+
- You need mod\_rewrite.
- The `pecl_http` extension must be installed for HTTP remoting to work. You probably won't need this.
- `iconv` extension is needed for action parameters with a guaranteed encoding (`string/UTF-8` and `string/ISO-8859-1`).

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

Coming soon... ;)

- See INSTALL for installation instructions.
- See TUTORIAL for instructions on how to code with The Frood.
