PHP Single-File-Framework

PHP-SFF is a minimalistic framework that does just these things:

• Simplistic class auto-loading (include $className.php)
• Routing requests with the following format: /controller/action/param0/paramN..
• CSRF prevention using Origin+Host check for non-GET/HEAD requests
• Layout rendering
• REST APIs output encoding using json_encode

Using

1. Fork this repository

git clone https://github.com/rodrigovr/php-sff.git my-project-name
cd my-project-name

2. Start PHP's bultin server

cd public
php -S 127.0.0.1:8888 index.php

Or start HHVM in server mode

cd public
hhvm -m server -p 8888 -d hhvm.server.error_document404=./index.php -d hhvm.server.fix_path_info=true

3. Browse to http://localhost:8888/

xdg-open http://localhost:8888/

4. Understand what the framework is doing. It's less than 100 lines of code to read!

• public/index.php
• components/Application.php
• components/SiteController.php
• views/layout.php
• views/error.php
• views/index.php

Tips

1. Create new controllers as needed, don't put everything on SiteController.php.
2. You can use subfolders for views and then $app->render('subfolder/view');
3. You can have multiple layouts and change then inside the action handler, just $app->layout = 'alternative-layout-file';
