phpmasterpages on Google Code

2010-05-25T15:05:00.000-03:00

I made a simple proof-of-concept for a asp-like master pages in PHP. You can get it here: http://code.google.com/p/phpmasterpages/

To-Do List

2010-05-24T02:03:00.001-03:00

I don't want to forget! The current plan is:

XSS/CSRF Protection
URL Helpers
Form Creation and Validation Helpers
Caching Helpers
Database Techniques and Tools
Third-Party Libraries Loaders
AJAX Tools and Techniques
Complete Demo Application

Comments are welcomed. I'll like to know if people are interested in some finished framework like the one I'm building.

Second Step: Adding ASP-Like Master Pages support

2010-05-24T01:55:00.001-03:00

I wanted to support ASP-Like Master Pages in PHP, but I don't want to use Smarty or any other template system capable of giving me this feature. I don't think it's necessary to use another "language" in order to make page templates, PHP is just fine by me.

Take a look at it. This second step towards a simple PHP framework needs proper error checking. It's in my To-Do list, don't worry. We'll be getting there in no time.

Seconds Step

First step: A stripped-down PHP framework

2010-05-24T01:27:00.003-03:00

After seeing so many PHP Frameworks that offers everything and a lot more of what I really want I decided to build a stripped-down PHP framework between pure standard PHP files and a proper MVC do-all PHP framework. I really like to keep a few things almost the same as working with straight PHP files.

No routing mechanism
No complex autoloading schemes
No proper MVC (Every .php file is a controller - No model files - View Files are organized however you like)
Class names works as basic namespaces. I don't like PHP 5.3 namespaces.
No hidden include()/require() nightmare.
