Target Audience: Intermediate-to-Advanced PHP developers
I am making available to LAMP developers, a custom PHP based Framework that I had developed sometime ago. This framework is inspired from Zend Framework and is extremely light-weight when compared to Zend. It provides you with basic classes that abstract database connection, Cookie management and HTTP request management. It uses Xtemplate as the view renderer. You are welcome to override the view renderer with your own implementation.
The Framework comes with a sample design of view template. You can customize it with your own cascade-style-sheet rules. The main intention is to allow developers to define their own components and related views. These components can in turn be used as a plug-n-play module on the pages. For more information, you can go through the README, LICENSE and ARCHITECTURE files that go along with the download.
You can also use external third-party JavaScript libraries along with this Framework. I have open sourced the Framework under Creative Commons Attribution (by) License.
You can download the Framework here.
Thanks.
P.S: I am not saying that the above Framework is an one-stop solution to all your business needs but will certainly get you started towards a structured PHP based development.
