tgsf - A Simple PHP MVC Framework
tgsf is an uncomplicated MVC written for PHP developers who want to work with MVC like they are already working with traditional PHP (procedural and/or oop).
tgsf is a framework that tries to stay out of the way as much as possible - this means that you aren't forced into working in any particular style. If you want, you can flatten the models and views into the controllers which means that a controller can work like a horribly written php script of yore. We discourage this, but it is possible. Our vision of the framework is that it be as PHP-like as possible - providing a supporting system that allows a php developer to work how he is most comfortable. We don't restrict the use of $_GET even though we have built in support for an alternative syntax that populates the $_GET super global.
In addition to being under active development, tgsf offers the following:- Ultra-simple front controller with multiple-application support.
- Advanced plugin system.
- Useful yet simple API for common functions.
- A simple approach to databases that loads super-early - uses PDO.
- Multiple database connections supported.
- Built-in support for minify for Javascript and css
- Built-in shell script for publishing using rsync - enables easier dev -> live workflow.
tgsf requires PHP version 5, and probably requires a fairly recent version of 5 for PDO to work well.
The goal of tgsf is to provide a framework that allows a developer to work with PHP the way they are used to working with PHP. This means that procedural developers will be just as comfortable as oop developers.
