PHPMVC

A super fast, customizable and lightweight PHP MVC Starter Framework to extend for your own...

How to Start

Clone this repo -

git clone https://github.com/ManiruzzamanAkash/phpmvc.git

Modify the `.env` file

Duplicate .env.example and create .env file for your own -

BASE_DIR=
APP_TITLE="Site Title"

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_USER=root
DB_PASSWORD=
DB_NAME=phpmvc

`BASE_DIR`: The root directory of your project if you want to keep your project to any sub-directory of the domain, like `devsenv.com/new-app`. If no sub-directory is required, leave it empty.
`APP_TITLE`: The title of your site.
`DB_HOST`: The hostname of your database server, default : `localhost`.
`DB_PORT`: The port of your database server, default: `3306`
`DB_USER`: The username of your database server, default: `root`.
`DB_PASSWORD`: The password of your database server. default: empty.
`DB_NAME`: The name of your database, default: `phpmvc`.

Extend: Add your own MVC

Route

Example 1: Add routes in route.php

<?php

use App\Base\Router;
use App\Controllers\WelcomeController;

Router::get('/', [WelcomeController::class, 'hello']);

Example 2: Closure function

use App\Base\Router;

Router::get('/', function() {
    return 'Hello World';
});

Router::get('/hello-another', function() {
    return views('welcome/hello');
});

Example 3: Portfolio Route


use App\Base\Router;
use App\Controllers\PortfoliosController;

Router::get('portfolios', [PortfoliosController::class, 'index']);

Model

We can create any model inside app\Models folder by extending base Model class.

Example 1: Create a TestModel class in app\Models\TestModel.php.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use App\Base\Model;

class TestModel extends Model
{
   //
}

Example 2: Portfolio Model: in app\Models\Portfolio.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use App\Base\Model;

class Portfolio extends Model
{
    protected string $tableName = 'portfolios';

    public function get(): array|false
    {
        return $this->fetchAll("SELECT * FROM {$this->tableName}");
    }

    public function findById(int $id)
    {
    }
}

Controller

We can create any controller inside app\Controllers folder by extending base Controller class.

Example 1: TestsController in app\Controllers\TestsController.php

<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

use App\Base\Controller;

class TestsController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        //
    }
}

Example 2: PortfoliosController in app\Controllers\PortfoliosController.php

<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

use App\Base\Controller;
use App\Models\Portfolio;

class PortfoliosController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $portfolio = new Portfolio();
        $portfolios = $portfolio->get();

        return views('portfolios/index.php', compact('portfolios'));
    }
}

Views

We can create any view file inside views folder.

Example 1: Simple view file: in views/index.php

<h2>Home Page</h2>

Example 2: View file with extending header and footer.

View Header:

in views/partials/header.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title><?php echo env('APP_TITLE'); ?></title>

    <!-- Load Styles -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo assets('css/style.css'); ?>">
</head>
<body>
    <!-- Load Header Nav-->
    <?php views('/partials/nav.php'); ?>

    <!-- Content start -->
    <div class="main-content">
        <!-- Content will be loaded here. -->

View Footer:

in views/partials/footer.php

</div>
<!-- Script -->
<script src="<?php echo assets('js/base.js'); ?>"></script>
</body>
</html>

Portfolio main view by extending header and footer.

<?php views('/partials/header.php'); ?>

<h2>Portfolios</h2>
<?php foreach($portfolios as $portfolio): ?>
    <li><?php echo $portfolio['title']; ?></li>
<?php endforeach;?>

<?php views('/partials/footer.php'); ?>

// Or pass multiple data.
$portfolios = [
    ['title' => 'Portfolio 1'],
    ['title' => 'Portfolio 2'],
];

views('portfolios/index.php', compact('portfolios'));
