New MVC Framework for PHP5 Available!

dennispopel · #1 (**permalink**) 03-03-05, 07:39 AM

Freeform Framework is a PHP5-based Web application development framework with a clear, scalable and extensible MVC architecture. Developed with simplicity in mind, it has class and resource packaging, automatic class discovery and loading, extensible and replaceable templating, security and session handling systems, an optional persistence API that does not use schema files, and class generators/enhancers or SQL builders.

We have started to build infrastructure for the framework - it now features its own documenting system, Freddy, that generates docs in real time from sources and allows to embed pictures and external files

We are pleased to announce that Freeform Framework 1.1.0 Stable has been released. The main changes are more extensive documentation available (Freddy-style), the HTML Document API was extended to support template regions (that boosts parsing performance up to 500% in several situations) and to support DOCTYPE generation for responce documents. SimpleDOM API was extended to include SDParserException that is thrown whenever the parser encounters error in source XML data, as well as the capability to parse processing instructions. Several bugs were fixed in the HTML package. We encourage you to upgrade to this version and extensively test it.

Hello,

Well, there is a bit alike system that reads doccomments, it's called Freddy. If you can install and run the framework, please download Freddy from the same site and follow the simple installation instructions - you should get more information about all this.

Of course, the docs should be better than they are now, but we currently have not much time for that. However, we are open to volunteers, and we will gladly accept developers to help us!

Regards,
Dennis
