Short Intro

Tagline: "Because PHP IS my framework"

P is a PHP framework of very limited scope. It contains more architecture than lines of code. This is on purpose, this likely won't change.

New features need to be extremely vetted for inclusion in this framework. Why? Because here, NIH means "not in here". Whatever feature you think would be nice to have probably already has a better place where it could live.

Long Intro / General Perspectives

Out of the box, P delivers just enough features to allow PHP developers to build structurally sound applications without a lot of boilerplate code. P's learning curve is shallow enough so that developers can be immediately productive with just a well rounded understanding of PHP itself.

Things you'll like or won't miss in P:

You'll like the simple dependency injection
You won't miss the lack of HTTP Request/Response abstraction
You'll like that most objects are built on well known SPL structures
You won't miss hard to debut recusive and endless stack traces
You'll like the blissfully short implementations
(In other words) You won't miss the endless abstractions

That said P promotes an appliation architecture with just a handful of concepts and features:

Fast name based service/dependency injection
Simple built-in router for both HTTP and CLI request handling
Configuration file management and processing
Basic PHP/HTML, CLI, and REST output handling
Application lifecycle callback registration

Installation

Use the skeleton project:

composer create-project p/p-micro-skeleton ./project
Create a composer.json and install:

"require": { "pframework/p": "dev-master" }

Hello World

The painfully simple and useless hello world:

<?php
require __DIR__ '/../vendor/autoload.php';
(new P\Application())->addRoute(['GET /', function () { echo 'Hello World'; }])->run();

Base Services

Todo.
