This project is a small PHP website toolkit created over years of web sites development. I've come up with this framework more recently and finally decided to release it under LGPL.
Why another PHP framework? Well, as already said, this project comes from years of PHP development. There are probably better frameworks out there at this time, but when I started this project, I wasn't able to find one that was giving me a good degree of liberty and flexibility, and that was designed to be multilingual (something that is too often neglect in other frameworks).
- Multilingual support (in URL, language browser detection, ...)
- Template definition and inheritance
- Control the final URL for each page (and alias support)
- Page hierarchy
- Custom actions and data manipulation
- Keep the control: this framework doesn't use awkward template syntax. You still write PHP in HTML files.
- PHP 5
- Apache (with mod_rewrite)
- Would probably work with other HTTP server. You only need to translate the .htaccess to support another HTTP server.
.htaccess
index.php
content/
(all your website content, you can organize your files as you want, no matter what you want to have for the URL)
index.en.php
index.fr.php
contact.en.php
contact.fr.php
phpwt/
conf/
config.inc.php
config.xml
core/
(all PHPWT files)
All configurations are in XML files. You can have a single config.xml file or multiple ones all referenced in config.xml.
Here is an example of a config.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
