MVCbasic / News: Recent posts

A minor release update for the MVC Basic code which adds a couple of functions to the router so applications can determine the calling controller and function.

A release with the dbbasic database drivers was also posted for download. The drives include very basic functionality for mysql and postgresql.

And an example implementation of MVC Basic with the dbbasic database drivers was released with the name mvcbench. It is used to create tables and data to perform web server and database benchmarking tests. It is not a benchmark by itself and requires an application such as siege to perform the testing once the mvcbench application is setup.

The MVCbasic code has been updated with a bug fix and some features.

The project web site has also been updated with additional detail on the framework design and release notes.

Today is the first release of MVCbasic. It is a basic PHP application framework loosely based on the MVC model.

The framework is very simple so it is easy to read through the code and see how it works. The simplicity lends itself to learning or teaching PHP application development or can be used as the basis of developing a more elaborate framework or application.

Future releases may add some functionality, i.e. an error handler or some database abstraction classes, but the objective of the project will always be to retain the simplicity which is necessary to easily see and understand the inner workings of the framework.
