Introduction

simpleMVC is a MVC (Model-View-Controler) framework written in PHP. It enables the rapid development of new Web applications.

The three components of a typical MVC application are :

• some business logic (the Model),
• a user interface (the View),
• a controler, which does the link between the logic and the interface.

simpleMVC provides you with a controler and some basic classes (database abstraction layer, logging, authentication, ...). All you need to do is :

• write a handful of Model classes (the logic),
• write some Smarty templates (the interface).
• register handlers (links to classes method of templates).

simpleMVC also provides :

• a packager that creates tar.gz packages,
• an installer (a web application that generates the user configuration files)

Requirements

• PHP > 4.2.3 (it might work on older PHP releases, but we will never test it nor support it),
• a mySQL Database (support for other databases is planned).

Status

The framework is still beta quality.

• Controler is almost finished,
• Authentication class is not really secure yet,
• Documentation has to be done,
• Packager has to be done,
• Installer has to be done.
