If you wrote web applications in PHP, you know that the managing the codes could be confusing. PHP does not provide easy standard on how to separate presentation, logic and code within your web application. Plug-in architecture is also not supported by default. You have to rely on other external web frameworks, of course in PHP, to achieve similar features.

I was writing Fabricate Framework to overcome these problems. I have done certain web application projects (ie. cityku.com) that required performance and manageable codes which were scheduled in tight deadlines. This framework went through evolution since its first creation. Due to the nature of this framework, I could finish the code in timely manner. Less code was required to finish a project because many components of a web application have been provided in this framework. You can concentrate on logic and/or presentation without have to write low level libraries again. I could work on different parts with other team members without jeopardizing the project.

Features highlight:

• Compatible to PHP 4.3.x or above
• Currently only support MySQL, but can be extended to support other DBMS
• Less code to write a web application than before
• The framework can be reused to create different applications
• Separates presentation, login and code
• Supports HTML and CSS templates
• Supports AJAX libraries such as Dojo, Sajax, Ext, and others
• Generates the output in less time

Fabricate Framework (Version 1.0 Alpha) will be released on May 7, 2007. This framework needs other developers, then I decided to host this in SourceForge most likely. An implementation of Content Management System would be published as well to see the framework usage in real application. I may put this framework under BSD License. Hence, it would be free for many purposes. More detail will be published later on.

Stumble it!
