  • No OOP, Just RVHM structure
    • R is Route. like as controller
    • V is View
    • H is Helper. like a import on Python, Go, NodeJS
    • M is Model. it implemented with KV bind(like as Map data structure), Model is optional.
  • Controllable shared variables: Minimize abuse of global variables. Inspired by the scope of AngularJS, and SharedPreferences of Android Framework
  • CGI style compatibility prepared for industrial applications: This framework can utilize both the latest object-oriented style and the CGI style required in industrial applications.

Compatible

  • Tested in PHP 5.3.3
  • Tested in PHP 7.x

How to use

  • Extract or clone this project to your (restrictive) shared web hosting.
  • You can intergrate all of PHP projects (linear, modular (ex. autoloader), or others) without complicated extensions.
  • You can write your code and rewrite by route parameter without heavy framework. (like as controller)
  • You can add your custom ini.php configuration file in config directory.
  • Enjoy it!

Comment about PSR standards

Many people are saying that this project seems to be distant from the PSR standards, and that claim is correct.

The coding convention of this project is similar to the CGI style that was widely used in the early 2000s. Moreover, this style is still observed in solutions written in PHP that are sold in markets such as WordPress plugins, a local-optimized CMS, or Codecanyon in 2023.

Although this project hardly uses object-oriented concepts and does not use package managers like Composer much, it still incorporates concepts such as Model, View, Controller, Router, and Helper that are proposed in modern frameworks, and we have made efforts to provide a similar experience as much as possible.

We made efforts to address common security vulnerabilities (XSS, CSRF, SQL injection) in web applications, and included many code snippets that were designed to minimize reliance on specific DBMS or communication drivers.

The specifications that this project offers are still in demand in enterprise environments, so it can be a useful solution if you happen to be in such a situation.

Whenever this project was introduced, I received a lot of questions about PSR, and I also made efforts to find customers who were willing to pay for a PSR version, such as holding conferences for existing customers. However, there is still no good news. Until good news comes, my plan is to mainly maintain this project.

If you want to comply with the PSR standards and your colleagues are also ready to learn them humbly, we recommend that you consider Codeigniter (which has a similar structure to this project) or Silm Framework.
