Phacil-framework

A super easy PHP Framework for web development!

Requirements

• PHP 5.4+ (PHP 7.0+ recommended with OPCache and igbinary extensions)
• HTTP Web Server (Apache 2.4+ recommended with mod_rewrite)
• Some writable directories (like logs and cache)

Structure

Folder	Description
Controller	Contains the structure and files of controller's code
Model	Contains directories and files for the model code
View	Contains the template files
Cache	Full writable default cache storage
public_html	Contains the index.php and .htaccess Apache file. All your access public files stay here, like CSS, JavaScript, etc.
System	Most important folder of this framework. Contains the libraries, classes and others features to improve correct working for the Web App.
Logs	Contains debug and error logs
config.php	File with contains all basic configurations for the Web App, like DB connection, mail config, directory config, etc.

Get started!

Copy or clone this repository in your computer/server and edit the config.php file. See below the Config File Basic Options.

Hello World! sample

This is a simple Hello World! for this framework.

1. In controller folder, create a folder called common and create a file called home.php.

2. Edit controller/common/home.php like that.

   <?php
   
   class ControllerCommonHome extends Controller {
       public function index() {
           $this->data['variable'] = "Hello World!";
   
           $this->out();
       }
   }
   

3. Now create a folder inside view called default and a subfolder called common and a file home.twig.

4. Edit the view/default/common/home.twig like this.

   <h1>{{ variable }}</h1>
   

5. Rename config.dist.php to config.php and edit the constants HTTP_URL and DIR_APPLICATION in file config.php. Edit others DIR_* constants path if necessary.

   <?php
   
   define('HTTP_URL', 'http://phacil.local/');
   define('HTTPS_URL', HTTP_URL);
   define('HTTP_IMAGE', HTTP_URL);
   
   define('USE_DB_CONFIG', false);
   
   define('DEBUG', true);
   
   $configs = array(
                'PatternSiteTitle'=>' - ExacTI phacil',
   			 'config_mail_protocol'=>'smtp',
   			 'config_error_display' => 1,
   			 'config_template' => "default",
   			 'config_error_filename'=> 'error.log');
   
   //App folders
   define('DIR_APPLICATION', '/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/phacil/');
   define('DIR_LOGS', DIR_APPLICATION.'logs/');
   define('DIR_PUBLIC', DIR_APPLICATION.'public_html/');
   define('DIR_SYSTEM', DIR_APPLICATION.'system/');
   define('DIR_IMAGE', DIR_APPLICATION.'public_html/imagens/');
   define('DIR_TEMPLATE', DIR_APPLICATION.'view/');
   define('DIR_CACHE', DIR_APPLICATION.'cache/');
   

6. Point your http/php server to public_html folder, access your web app in your favorite browser and enjoy this magnify Hello World!

Explanation

All routes are a mapping class with extends the primary Controller class. In a simple term, the class name in controller is ControllerFolderFilename.

class ControllerFolderFile extends Controller { }

The public function named index() is a default function to generate the page.

public function index() { }

Array $this->data receives in array format the variables to send to template, in this sample called variable with the string Hello World!.

In the last we finish with a simple $this->out(); to indicate the output and process template file. It's an automated mechanism to link this controller with the respective viewer.

The viewer in this sample is a twig template format (Twig page). ExacTI Phacil Framework permits to use various PHP template engines, like Twig, Mustache, Dwoo and Smarty.

Outputs and renders

Phacil Framework count with three methods for output content: $this->response->setOutput(), $this->render() and $this->out().

setOutput

When you call a $this->response->setOutput inside a controller, you specify an output of content to screen without template. It's very useful for JSON, XML or others data contents.

Sample

<?php 
class ControllerDemoSample extends Controller {
  public function index() {
    $variable = 'value';

    $this->response->setOutput($variable);
    // prints "value" in screen
  }
}

render

The $this->render just render the controller with template but not output this. Needs to specify a $this->template to associate with template file. It's much used in children's controllers, like headers and footers.

Sample

   <?php 
   class ControllerCommonHeader extends Controller {
     public function index() {
       $variable = 'value';

       $this->template = 'default/common/header.twig';

       $this->render();
     }
   }

out

The $this->out is a smart way to output content to screen and combine the render with an associative template. For sample, if you have a controller in a file called sample.php inside the demo controller folder and a viewer called sample.twig inside demo view folder, automatically links with one another and the $this->template isn't need (Unless you want to specify another template with a different name). If you specify $this->out(false) the auto childrens "header" and "footer" are not loaded.

For functions inside the controller that are different from index, for automatic mapping with the template it is necessary to add an underscore (_) after the controller name and add the function name (E.g.: contact_work.twig to link with the route common/contact/work, see Routes section for more information).

Sample

<?php
class ControllerCommonContact extends Controller {
  public function index() {
    $this->document->setTitle('Contact Us');

    $this->out();
    // automatically link with common/contact.twig template
  }

  public function work() {
    $this->document->setTitle('Work with Us');

    $this->out();
    // automatically link with common/contact_work.twig template
  }
}

Template Engines Support

This framework supports this PHP templates engines:

• TPL (basic template with PHP and HTML);
• Twig;
• Mustache;
• Smarty;
• Dwoo (Deprecated, will be removed soon in further versions).

To use a determined template engine, just create a file with name of engine in extension, for sample, if you like to use a Twig, the template file is demo.twig, if desire the Mustache template, use demo.mustache extension file. The ExacTI Phacil Framework allows to use various template engines in the same project.

Easy made functions

This framework is very focused in agile, security and reusable code in PHP. Contains a very utils functions we see in the next section.

Database

To execute a query:

$variable = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM mundo");

Without SQL Cache (if config enabled):

$variable = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM mundo", false);

Escape values to more security (no SQL injection issue): $this->db->escape($value)

To get these rows: $variable->rows;

Get one row: $variable->row;

Number of rows: $variable->num_rows;

Sample:

<?php 
class ModelDemoSample extends Model {
    public $data = array();

    public function dataSample ($code) {
  	  $variable = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM settings WHERE code = '". $this->db->escape($code). "'");

  	  $this->data['rows'] = $variable->rows;
  	  $this->data['totalRecords'] = $variable->num_rows;

  	  return $this->data;
    }
}

Supported databases and drivers

Driver	Database Type	Description
db_pdo	MariaDB	Optimized PDO connection to work with MariaDB databases with charset utf8mb4. Also works very well with MySQL.
dbmysqli	MySQL/MariaDB	MySQLi PHP connection
mssql	MS SQL Server	Use mssql PHP extension for connect to Microsoft SQL Server databases.
mpdo	MySQL	PDO connection for MySQL databases
mysql	MySQL	Legacy MySQL extension. Works only in PHP 5.
oracle	Oracle	Connect to Oracle databases
postgre	PostgreSQL	Driver for connect to PostgreSQL databases.
sqlsrv	MS SQL Server	Connect a Microsoft SQL Server database with sqlsrv PHP extension.
sqlsrvpdo	MS SQL Server	Connect to Microsoft SQL Server using PDO driver.
sqlite3_db	SQLite 3	Use the SQLite 3 database

Cache

This framework contains the PhpFastCache (https://www.phpfastcache.com) library to provide a most efficient cache system with many possibilities, like Mencache, Redis, APC or a simple file cache. To enable this library, define USE_PHPFASTCACHE constant as true. It works only in PHP 7 or newer. If you don't set USE_PHPFASTCACHE or use an older version of PHP, Phacil automatic set to simple internal file cache system.

Regular drivers	High performances drivers	Development drivers
Apc(u)	Cassandra	Devnull
Cookie	CouchBase	Devfalse
Files	Couchdb	Devtrue
Leveldb	Mongodb	Memstatic
Memcache(d)	Predis
Sqlite	Redis
Wincache	Riak
Xcache	Ssdb
Zend Disk Cache	Zend Memory Cache

To storage caches in binary mode (most fast), PHP need the igbinary extension (https://github.com/igbinary/igbinary). Without igbinary the framework works fine, but cached values is stored using serialize PHP function.

You can configure to use automatic cache in SQL databases with SQL_CACHE constant configuration (see in Config section) also you can use for manual caches using in a controller or model with $this->cache->set($key, $value) to set a cache and $this->cache->get($key) to obtain a cache value.

Document easy made

Use the especial Document class to manipulate easily informations about your final HTML.

To call a document class, use $this->document inside Controller.

To add a CSS: $this->document->addStyle($href, $rel = 'stylesheet', $media = 'screen', $minify = true);

To add a JavaScript: $this->document->addScript($script, $sort = '0', $minify = true);

Facebook Metatag: $this->document->addFBMeta($property, $content = '');

Document HTML Title: $this->document->setTitle($title);

Page description: $this->document->setDescription($description);

Sample:

<?php
class ControllerCommonHome extends Controller {
    public function index() {
 	   $this->document->addStyle('pipoca.css');
    }
}

Classes and functions

This framework has a lot of utilities and accepts much more in system folder with autoload format.

To show all classes

Execute a Classes() class in one Controller.

$cla = new Classes();

var_dump($cla->classes());

To show all classes and functions registered

Execute a Classes() class and call functions() in one Controller.

$cla = new Classes('HTML');

var_dump($cla->functions());

Note: The HTML parameter is the output in HTML style. Is optional.

Loaders

In this framework, loaders are a simple way to get resources to use in your PHP code. Is very intuitive and require few steps.

For sample, to load a model, is just $this->load->model('folder/file'); and to use is $this->model_folder_file->object();, like this sample:

<?php
class ControllerSampleUse extends Controller {
    public function index() {
   	 $this->load->model('data/json');
   	 $this->data['totalData'] = $this->model_data_json->total();

   	 $this->out();
    }
}

You can use loaders to:

• Controllers;
• Models;
• Librarys;
• Configs;
• Databases;
• Languages.

Load database connection

If you need an extra database connection or a different driver/database access, you can use the $this->load->database($driver, $hostname, $username, $password, $database); method (see more about databases functions in the Databases section of this document).

The name of database is a registered object to access database functions. This load is simple and registry to object of origin.

Sample:

<?php  
class ModelDemoSample extends Model {
  public function otherData() {
    $this->load->database('mpdo', 'localhost', 'root', 'imtheking', 'nameDatabase');

    $sql = $this->db->nameDatabase->query("SELECT * FROM mundo");

    return $sql->rows;
  }
}

Models

This framework is totally MVC (Model, View and Controller) based. The models are just like the controllers and uses the same structure, with a different folder.

To create a model, put in the models folder a directory and file with the code.

<?php

class ModelFolderFile extends Model {
    public function SayMyName() {
   	 return "Heisenberg";
    }
}

To use this model in a controller, you can use the loader.

<?php
class ControllerFolderFile extends Controller {
  public function index() {
    $this->load->model('folder/file');
    echo $this->model_folder_file->SayMyName();
    // this output is "Heisenberg".
  }
}

Constructs and Destructs

In some cases, we need to add a __construct or __destruct in a class to better code practices. To call a constructs in controllers and models, use the $registry parent:

public function __construct($registry)
  {
  parent::__construct($registry);
  
  // YOUR CODE HERE AFTER THIS LINE!
  }

Requests and Sessions

To use a magic request system, you just need to call a $this->request method. For sample, to obtain a POST value, use $this->request->post['field'] to get the post value with security. For a $_SERVER predefined variables, use $this->request->server['VALUE'] and $this->request->get[key] for $_GET values.

For REST services you can use $this->request->method to check if is a POST, GET, PUT, DELETE or other HTTP method. You can use the auxiliary functions to determinate the HTTP method, like $this->request->isPUT() to return true or false for PUT method. Also others methods have your functions, like $this->request->isPOST(), $this->request->isGET(), $this->request->isHEAD(), $this->request->isCONNECT(), $this->request->isOPTIONS(), $this->request->isTRACE(), $this->request->isPATCH() or $this->request->isDELETE(). All are equivalent to "is" function in request, like this sample: $this->request->is('PUT') return true or false for PUT HTTP method.

The advantages to use this requests instead the predefined variables of PHP are more the more security, upgradable and unicode values.

Sessions

Sessions is a little different method, you can define and use with $this->session->data['name']. All sessions called with Phacil are secure for HTTPS and IP verify, in other words, we made the session cookie stolen more difficulty, to have less chance of session hijacking. You can define the session prefix name with constant SESSION_PREFIX in your config file. For default, the prefix is "SESS".

Special controller parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
$this->template	string	Specify manually the path to template
$this->twig	array	Create Twig additional functions. E.g.: $this->twig = array('base64' => function($str) { return base64_encode($str); });
$this->children	array	Load in a template variable other renders of web app. Th children's footer and header is default loaded when uses $this->out() output. To load without this defaults childrens, use $this->out(false).
$this->redirect($url)	string	Create a header to redirect to another page.

Routes

The ExacTI Phacil Framework is a simple router base to create a simple and consistent web navigation.

Without SEO URL, we invoke a page with route get parameter when contains a scheme folder/file of controller, like this: http://example.com/index.php?route=folder/file.

In a sample case, we have this controller:

<?php
class ControllerFolderFile extends Controller {
    public function index() {
   	 echo "Index";
    }
    public function another() {
   	 echo $this->foo($this->request->get['p']);
    }
    private function foo($parameter) {
   	 return ($parameter != 0) ? "another" : "other";
    }
}

If we access index.php?route=folder/file we see the "Index" message. But, like a tree, if we access index.php?route=folder/file/another obtains another function code, with "other" message.

Multiple Get parameters is simple and we can define normally, e.g.: index.php?route=folder/file/another&p=2 to print "another" message.

Private and protected functions is only for internal use, if we tried to access index.php?route=folder/file/foo, the framework return 404 HTTP error.

SEO URL

If you need a beautiful URL for SEO or other optimizations, you can use the url_alias database table. Is very simple and "translate" the routes in URL.

Execute this SQL in your database to create a url_alias table:

CREATE TABLE `url_alias` (
`url_alias_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`query` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL,
`get` longtext COLLATE utf8_bin,
`keyword` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`url_alias_id`),
UNIQUE KEY `keyword` (`keyword`) 
) AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin;

Imagine this SQL table called url_alias:

url_alias_id	query	get	keyword
1	contact/contato		contact
2	webservice/sitemap		sitemap

With the url_alias, the access to route http://example.com/index.php?route=contact/contato and http://example.com/contact is the same!(and very pretty!).

SEO URL without Database

You can create URL without a SQL Database configuration. For this you just need specify routes in the config file using the ROUTES constant with array content, like this:

define('ROUTES', array(
  'magic' => 'common/home/xml', 
  'json' => 'common/home/json'));

Links

We have a function to create a strict and dynamic links automatic: $this->url->link($route, $args = '', $connection = 'NONSSL'). Is a simple function to generate internal links with correct URL encode.

In sample of this table above, if we have this code:

echo $this->url->link('contact/contato');

We get this URL in output: http://example.com/contact

But if you don't have a route in url_alias table, returns the complete route.

echo $this->url->link('catalog/products');

Return this URL in output: http://example.com/index.php?route=catalog/products

With extra GET parameters:

$fields = array('foo' => 'bar');
echo $this->url->link('contact/contato', $fields);
echo $this->url->link('contact/contato/place', $fields);

We get this URL in output with GET parameters:

http://example.com/contact?foo=bar

http://example.com/index.php?route=contact/contato/place&foo=bar

Note: It's necessary specify the config config_seo_url for correctly function of this URLs. If you use the SQL url_alias table, you need specify the USE_DB_CONFIG to true in config file.

Passing URI Segments to your Functions

Use the '%' character and its variations (see below) to create a route with wildcard. All contents in the URL will matches with wildcard is passed to your controller function as argument.

Wildcard	Description
%d	Matches any decimal digit equivalent to [0-9].
%w	Matches any letter, digit or underscore. Equivalent to [a-zA-Z0-9_]. Spaces or others character is not allowed.
%a	Matches any character in the valid ASCII range. Latin characters like 'ç' or 'ã' is not accepted.
%	Accept any character.

Sample:

define("ROUTES", array(
     "produto/%d/%/promo" => "feriado/natal/presentes"
)

<?php
class ControllerFeriadoNatal extends Controller {
    public function presentes($id, $name) {
        echo $id;
        echo $name;
    } 
}

In this sample above, imagine the URL http://yoursite.com/produto/87/alfajor/promo, this URL is sending to function presentes values for $id and $name arguments in sequential method, in other words, the value of $id is set to 87 and $name to alfajor. The wildcard %d in router relative to $id argument define is only accepted number values.

In this moment, this resource is only available in constant ROUTES method. SQL routes not support wildcard at this moment.

JSON, XML and others custom responses

If you need to output in another format or another response, you can use the Response method $this->response.

For sample, to create a controller when the output is a JSON data:

<?php
class ControllerApiData extends Controller {
    public function index() {
 	   $record = array(array("index" => 482, "id" => 221), array("index" => 566, "id" => 328));

 	   $json = json_encode($record);

 	   $this->response->isJSON();   //Auto send the 'Content-Type: application/json' header

 	   $this->response->setOutput($json);
    }
}

The $this->response->isJSON is responsible to send a JSON Content-Type HTTP header to browser. The $this->response->setOutput() works for send output of the content of a variable, function, constant, etc., to the browser.

We have this output:

[{"index":482,"id":221},{"index":566,"id":328}]

Another sample, but with XML data:

<?php
class ControllerApiData extends Controller {
    public function xml() {
      $test_array = array (
          'bla' => 'blub',
          'foo' => 'bar',
      );
      $xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');
      array_walk_recursive($test_array, array ($xml, 'addChild'));

      $this->response->addHeader('Content-Type: text/xml');

      $this->response->setOutput( $xml->asXML() );
  }
}

The $this->response->addHeader have a function to send a personalized HTTP header to browser, in this case specify the Content-Type information. The response is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
 <blub>bla</blub>
 <bar>foo</bar>
</root>   

setOutput utilities

In response we have setOutput function with parameters to facility for JSON and REST use.

The parameters are $this->response->setOutput($output, bool $isJSON, int $HTTPCODE, string $HTTPDESC); on automatic apply the JSON Content-type header if the second parameter is true and define the HTTP response code in third parameter. A description for HTTP code also can be send, if you need.

Except for the first parameter, the others are optional.

Sample of use for JSON Rest output only with setOutput function

<?php
   class ControllerApiData extends Controller {
	  public function index() {
        $record = [
         [
           "index"  => 482,
           "id"     => 221
         ],
         [
           "index"  => 566,
           "id"     => 328
         ]
       ];
       
       $json = json_encode($record);
       
       $this->response->setOutput($json, true, 404);
	   }
   }

Set and load configurations

The config library in Phacil Framework obtains values to use in entire web app of: $config array in config.php file, the settings table in your configured database or both.

Is based in key->value mode with options like serialized value.

To use a configuration value, just call $this->config->get('nameOfKey').

To storage a config value, use a SQL table called settings or an array.

Sample of storage in array method

$config = array(
  "title" => "ExacTI Phacil Framework",
  "config_error_display" => true,
  "config_error_log" => false,
  "phones" => array(
    "BR" => '+55 11 4115-5161',
    "USA" => '+1 (845) 579-0362')
);

Sample of storage in SQL table

setting_id	group	key	value	serialized
1		title	ExacTI Phacil Framework	0
2	config	config_error_display	1	0
3	config	config_error_log	0	0
4		phones	a:2:{s:2:"BR";s:16:"+55 11 4115-5161";s:3:"USA";s:17:"+1 (845) 579-0362";}	1

Reserved config keys

This config keys are reserved to use for framework.

• config_error_log: Define if errors, notices and warnings is stored in log file. (boolean)
• config_error_display: Indicates if PHP show the errors, notices and warnings in screen. (boolean)
• config_template: Folder template name. (string)
• config_error_filename: Log filename. (string)
• config_seo_url: Indicates if SEO URL routes is enabled. (boolean)
• config_mail_protocol: Define the method of mail library use to send e-mails (mail or smtp values only). (string)
• config_compression: Output gzip compression value [0-9]. (integer)
• PatternSiteTitle: Used to $this->document->setTitle() function, replaces %s to this value. (string)
• date_timezone: Define the default timezone to entire application. (string)

Recommended settings SQL Query

MySQL/MariaDB sample

CREATE TABLE `settings` (
 `setting_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 `group` varchar(32) COLLATE utf8_bin,
 `key` varchar(64) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
 `value` mediumtext COLLATE utf8_bin,
 `serialized` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
 PRIMARY KEY (`setting_id`)
) AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin;

MS SQL Server sample

 CREATE TABLE settings (
  [setting_id] int NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
  [group] varchar(32),
  [key] varchar(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  [value] nvarchar(max),
  [serialized] tinyint DEFAULT '0',
  UNIQUE ([key])
);

Registrations

If you need to register a class or other resource to use in your entire application, you can create using the file registrations.php in the system folder. Use to specify a $this->registry->set('name', $function); with the function, class or method if you need. After this, just use $this->name to access this registry inside a controller or model.

Sample to register a simple class

Declare in /system/registrations.php

<?php
// use for register aditionals

$criptoClass = new CriptoClass('salt');
$this->registry->set('cripto', $criptoClass);

Using in /controler/demo/sample.php

<?php 
class ControllerDemoSample extends Controller {
  public function index() {
    $value = 123;
    $use = $this->cripto->function($value);

    echo $use;
  }
}

You can make registrations more complex too, for sample, use another database or a load call.

Declare in /system/registrations.php

<?php
//use for register aditionals

class DBne extends Controller {
  public function __construct($registry) {
    parent::__construct($registry);
    $database = "test";
    $this->load->database($driver, $hostname, $username, $password, $database);
    //see the load database method above for better comprehension
   }
}
new DBne($this->registry);

Using in /controller/demo/sample.php

class ControllerDemoSample extends Controller {
  public function index() {
    $this->test->query("SELECT * FROM mundo");
  }
}

Pay attention: Use the registrations only for objects that you need to access from the entire application. E.g.: If you need to connect a one more database but you just use for one model, it's better to load just inside the model, for awesome performance.

Add new modules, libraries and functions

To add new classes or functions, you can put a folder in system directory with a autoload.php file. All autoload.php files are included to framework automatically.

Use Composer

Composer is an application-level package manager for the PHP programming language that provides a standard format for managing dependencies of PHP software and required libraries.
To use Composer packages and autoloads, just configure your composer.json with this vendor-dir: system/vendor.

{
  "config": {
    "vendor-dir": "./system/vendor/"
  }
}
