Agavi

Website

http://www.agavi.org

Brief

The Agavi project was started in early 2005 as a fork of the then well-known Mojavi framework for PHP. Mojavi had gathered a pretty large community over the years, but the new version 3 didn't see overly active development and was, despite the open source license, not developed in a typically open source manner, i.e. with active involvement of and feedback from the community, or access to the main development repository, issue tracker and so on.

Features

It helps you build and maintain clean URLs. Agavi's routing implementation can not only map request URLs to actions, but also handles your web service requests, generates URLs for you, and much more. Read the chapter on routing for more information on advanced features such as route callbacks or how to read an HTTP Accept header and set an output type accordingly.

It validates your data and helps secure your code. Agavi can validate input submitted by the user, filter and normalize values, and make your application totally bullet-proof by only exposing validated data to your code, greatly lowering the risks of you or one of your developers using potentially unsafe data in your code. This applies to any potentially unsafe input, not just GET or POST data - files, cookies, and HTTP headers, among other input sources, will all be run through the validation system, and the single point of access to such data guarantees that you really only process data you have validated.

It takes the pain out of HTML forms. Agavi features a very clever approach to handling forms for you that does not rely on helpers or a specific template language to work. Not only will it re-populate the information the user entered when a form is shown again after submission, it also assigns classes to erroneous fields and their labels, and can even insert error messages into your form without any placeholders in the markup. Of course, you have full control over all aspects at any time, allowing you to pre-populate forms with information from your database or other sources.

It offers powerful features for globalization. Besides support for translating strings in different languages, Agavi comes with the ability to format and parse numbers, dates and currencies in over 250 different locales. It is aware of time zones, has extensive support for calendars and calendar operations, can give you a list of country names in the language (and script!) you like, and much, much more.

Fusebox

Website

http://www.fusebox.org/

Brief

Fusebox is a framework for building web applications. It is meant to make your applications easier to create and maintain. It also makes team development easier. It does this by helping you structure your application and break things down into discreet pieces. Fusebox consists of a set of core files which handle much of the "plumbing" necessary when creating a web application.

A Fusebox application is made up of Circuits. A Circuit corresponds to a directory in your application. Within each circuit are one or more Fuseactions. A Fuseaction is a request handler. And finally, a Fuseaction does its work by executing one or more Fuses. Fuses are individual CFML templates such as display files.

The framework uses XML configuration files to define the application settings as well as declaring what each Circuit does and how Fuseactions within each Circuit execute. There is a core set of XML grammar that is used to create these files.

The framework is fully extensible via Plugins, which allow you to extend the core functionality without having to modify the core files. It also supports Custom Lexicons, which allow you to extend the XML grammar with your own tags. As a result, Fusebox is very flexible and can support a wide range of development needs.

Fusebox does not force the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern or Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) on the developer. However, either or both of these development approaches can be used with Fusebox.

InterJinn

Website

http://www.interjinn.com/

Brief

InterJinnTM is an open-source multi-tier framework for web and shell applications using the PHP scripting engine.

Although the architecture focuses on web development a great deal of effort has been made to make it just as useful for the shell. With the multi-tier framework, code used for web applications can be re-used for shell based applications by merely changing the view. The above list should be standard for any web application framework, but the real strength in InterJinnTM lies in it's modularity and ease of extensibility. Any of the core features can be replaced with another module that conforms to the necessary interface. For each of the features above, InterJinnTM currently has dual support for database and filesystem based mechanisms. The database mechanism support a MySQL layer or alternatively a PEAR:DB wrapper layer. To fully appreciate the framework I suggest you explore this site and get a feel for the power and flexibility that will be placed at your disposal.

Features

Focus lies on web development and with that in mind the InterJinnTM framework provides the following integrated features:

* session management
* profile management
* run-time component binding
* run-time property binding
* caching mechanisms
* form engine with advanced validation
* customizable templating system

Konstrukt

Website

http://konstrukt.dk

Brief

The world of PHP provides a plentitude of frameworks, so what sets Konstrukt apart from the rest?

The most important aspect of Konstrukt is to provide a set of rules, by which an application can be built. Thus it must be said to be a framework. It is however of a different kind than what most people associate with a web application framework these days.

Konstrukt is not a "full-service" framework in the style of Ruby on Rails, Zend Framework etc. Konstrukt only provides a small subset of what these do.

For example, Konstrukt provides a strategy for URL translation and URL-generation. The strategy is programmable, rather than being configurable/declarative. It takes some more effort by the programmer, but provides much greater flexibility.

Features

Key Aspects

* Controllers are resources
* URI-to-controller-mapping gives your application a logical structure
* Routing based on logic rather than rules
* Nested controllers supports composite view rendering
* Formcontroller provides filtering and validation

Design Goals

* Embrace HTTP rather than hide it
* Enable the programmer, rather than automating
* Favour aggregation over code-generation or config-files
* Encourage encapsulation, and deter use of global scope
* Limit focus to the controller layer

PHP on Trax

Website

http://www.phpontrax.com

Brief

Php On Trax (formerly Php On Rails) is a web-application and persistance framework that is based on Ruby on Rails and includes everything needed to create database-backed web-applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern of separation. This pattern splits the view (also called the presentation) into "dumb" templates that are primarily responsible for inserting pre-build data in between HTML tags. The model contains the "smart" domain objects (such as Account, Product, Person, Post) that holds all the business logic and knows how to persist themselves to a database. The controller handles the incoming requests (such as Save New Account, Update Product, Show Post) by manipulating the model and directing data to the view.

In Trax, the model is handled by what's called a object-relational mapping layer entitled Active Record. This layer allows you to present the data from database rows as objects and embellish these data objects with business logic methods.

Brief

"Rapid web application development framework and an IDE for PHP"

PHPlus is an open source project to help PHP developers and designers make web based development faster and painless. The goal of this project is to develop a framework and tools (IDE) which will clearly seperate the interface & program logic.

PhpMVC

Website

http://www.phpmvc.net

Brief

php.MVC implements the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern, and encourages application design based on the Model 2 paradigm. This design model allows the Web page or other contents (View) to be mostly separated from the internal application code (Controller/Model), making it easier for designers and programmers to focus on their respective areas of expertise.

The framework provides a single entry point Controller. The Controller is responsible for allocating HTTP requests to the appropriate Action handler (Model) based on configuration mappings.

The Model contains the business logic for the application. The Controller then forwards the request to the appropriate View component, which is usually implemented using a combination of HTML with PHP tags in the form of templates. The resulting contents are returned to the client browser, or via another protocol such as SMTP.

php.MVC is a PHP port of Jakarta Struts. It currently supports many features of Struts, including declarative application configuration via the XML digester. For example, mappings from the various Action business logic components to appropriate results pages can be specified declaratively in the XML configuration file.

phpPeanuts

Website

http://www.phppeanuts.org

Brief

PhpPeanuts is an open source framework for developing database-backed applications in PHP. It supports high and sustainable developer productivity by default reasoning and the 'once and only once' principle.

With phpPeanuts you do not build an application from the bottom up. Instead you get one scaffolded from meta data, then extend and refine it step by step to make it more and more like you want it to be.

PhpPeanuts does in general not generate code. Instead it generates the application behavior dynamically on each request. When you adapt your design the scaffolded parts of your application will adapt dynamically with each request. So you can start with the simpelest thing that could possibly work for your application, and refactor later if the need arises, without losing much productivity. The eXtreme Programming way.

Features

* easy to install;
* automatic dynamic scaffolding of a complete user interface, including automatic form generation and validation, hyperlinks for viewing for editing related objects, selecting related objects using dropdowns and dialogs, Query By Example and sorting query results;
* user interface follows MVC pattern for separation of layout and code and logical separation between domain model and user interface;
* meta data based dynamic Object Relational Mapping (ORM) with object caching, polymorphism and navigation over relationships without coding;
* encapsulation without writing property getter and setter methods;
* ready-for-use user interface pages, components, widgets and dialogs;
* applications each have their own entry point to enable web server native authorization on a per-application basis;
* context scouting for returning the user to the page where he started with a task;
* many details of user interface can be overridden and customized;
* extendable code management scheme for overriding framework behavior without changing framework code,
* website with tutorial, documentation explaining concepts and design, practical howto's and hypercode browsers for browsing and searching the framework code to see how it works and how it can be overriden and exteded in undocumented ways
* the framework's design has a history of over 10 years,

Qcodo

Website

http://www.qcodo.com

Brief

The Qcodo Development Framework is an open-source PHP 5 framework that focuses on freeing developers from unnecessary tedious, mundane coding.

The result is that developers can do what they do best: focus on implementing functionality and usability, improving performance and ensuring security.

It is a completely object-oriented framework that takes the best of PHP and provides a truly rapid application development platform. Initial prototypes roll out in minutes instead of hours. Iterations come around in hours instead of days (or even weeks). As projects iterate into more cohesive solutions, the framework allows developers to take prototypes to the next level by providing the capability of bringing the application maturity.

The framework consists of two main components: the Code Generator and Qforms (see below for more). While the framework was designed to support the complexities of large projects, it is an incredibly lightweight framework which can be utilized by small and large web applications alike.

Features

Qcodo was designed for truly rapid application development which focuses on quick prototypes and rapid iterations. The intersection where design meets code always starts with the data model, and the expectation is that the data model will change, grow and adapt throughout the life of the application. These changes would inherently ripple out through to the rest of the code base. But instead of these changes being a burden to the development team, Code Generation can be implemented to make those changes occur with little to no interruption.

Studs

Website

http://www.mojavelinux.com/projects/studs

Brief

Studs began simply as a port of Apache's Jakarta Struts MVC Framework to PHP, though it has turned out to be decidedly more. I started this project to study the internals of J2EE web applications and then to bring these design concepts into the PHP environment. Now it is time the see if the code lives up to this challenge.

The primary goal of this project, apart from being a road tested implementation of the MVC pattern for PHP, is to provide a learning platform for developers looking to give J2EE a try, while at the same time providing a comfortable PHP environment for those people familiar with Java Servlet technology. One way Studs manages this neutral ground is by relying on many of the standard deployment descriptors used in Java Servlets and Struts, including such files as web.xml, struts-config.xml and taglib.tld. By achieving this level of compatibility, existing tools can be leveraged to help develop applications in this environment.

Features

Studs was developed for two main reasons. One, to allow Java programmers to have a familiar environment when working in PHP and second, to allow PHP programmers to dive into the world of Java without leaving their hometown.

Symfony

Website

http://www.symfony-project.com

Brief

Symfony is a web application framework for PHP5 projects.

It aims to speed up the creation and maintenance of web applications, and to replace the repetitive coding tasks by power, control and pleasure.

The very small number of prerequisites make symfony easy to install on any configuration; you just need Unix or Windows with a web server and PHP 5 installed. It is compatible with almost every database system. In addition, it has a very small overhead, so the benefits of the framework don't come at the cost of an increase of hosting costs.

Using symfony is so natural and easy for people used to PHP and the design patterns of Internet applications that the learning curve is reduced to less than a day. The clean design and code readability will keep your delays short. Developers can apply agile development principles (such as DRY, KISS or the XP philosophy) and focus on applicative logic without losing time to write endless XML configuration files.

Symfony is aimed at building robust applications in an enterprise context. This means that you have full control over the configuration: from the directory structure to the foreign libraries, almost everything can be customized. To match your enterprise's development guidelines, symfony is bundled with additional tools helping you to test, debug and document your project.

Features

* compatible with as many environments as possible
* easy to install and configure
* simple to learn
* enterprise ready
* convention rather than configuration, supporting fallback calls
* simple in most cases, but still flexible enough to adapt to complex cases
* most common web features included
* compliant with most of the web "bests pratices" and with web "design patterns"
* very readable code with easy maintenance
* open source
