Welcome to the RapidPHP Project Homepage

This is the homepage for the RapidPHP project. RapidPHP is the Rapid PHP Web Development framework. It's not a super-duper-do-everything-and-complicate-and-obfuscate-standard-design-patterns kind of framework. It implements design patterns to spec but takes convenience routes where appropriate to in order to simplify (first and foremost) and accelerate development (secondarily).

Here's the basic idea of RapidPHP: Increase code quality and decrease maintenance time and feature implementation time. This is accomplished by using the Model-View-Controller, DAO/DVO and other design patterns all the while allowing for one-off pages or smaller applications where MVC would be overkill. RapidPHP classifies these areas as Pages, Modules and Applications.

Pages

A framework Page is a single PHP script. It is like any other simple web page you have written in PHP and you can do anything in it you normally would. Example usages would be simple information pages.

Modules

A framework Module is an isolated collection of files packaged together in its own directory. An example use of a Module may be for a survey.

Applications

A framework Application is a full-blown yet straight-forward Model-View-Controller implementation. An Application is directed through the MVC sub-framework. Models, Views and Controllers are separated as you would expect. The design pattern is followed as closely as possible. Example usages may include an administrative section to your website.
