Micro MVC

A micro MVC written in PHP. Inspired by Sinatra (github.com/sinatra/sinatra).

Live Example

mvc.danieldurante.com

Installation

1. Download the source and place all of the files (except the “public” directory) under your public_html/www folder.

2. Place the “index.php” file within your public_html/www folder.

3. Rename “config.default.ini” to “config.ini”

4. Edit the controller/view/model files. I’ve included a basic example to get you started. NOTE: The “models” section is very bare and basic. I highly encouraging swapping it out with your own system.

5. Edit “routes.php” to reflect your changes.

Installation on Nginx

In your server block…

try_files $uri $uri /index.php?path=$args;

So my server block looks like…

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name mvc.danieldurante.com;
  index index.html index.php;

  location ~ \.php$ {
    include /opt/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /srv/www/mvc.danieldurante.com/public$fastcgi_script_name;
  }

  location ~* ^.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|pdf|txt|tar|wav|bmp|rtf|js|flv|swf|html|htm)$ {
    root /srv/www/mvc.danieldurante.com/public;
    expires max;
    add_header Pragma public;
  }

  try_files $uri $uri /index.php?path=$args;
}

Installation on Apache

In your .htaccess (assuming you have mod_rewrite enabled)…

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?path=$1

Goals

• Fast

• Keep it as slim as possible. For a fully featured Sinatra framework use CodeIgniter, CakePHP, or Symfony

• Keep it classy.

I’m always looking for ways to improve Fedora as well as my other projects. Shoot me a message on here and fork the project over!
