Nephtali: A PHP web framework that ‘functions’ beautifully.
December 11th, 2009 by simpletext

Building on the new functional capabilities available in PHP 5.3, Nephtali provides powerful web development capabilities  within a small web framework.

Defining features

  • Functional style (functions are preferred over objects, many framework values are immutable.)
  • Novel architecture makes use of micro-controllers (as opposed to the page- or front-controllers) and embedded views, cleanly separating HTML from PHP and empowering designers in the development process.
  • Wrapper functions for PDO simplify DB work whilst maintaining control and flexibility.
  • The framework all fits within ONE FILE.

What it buys you

Nephtali, while small enough to fit within one file, buys you a bunch, including:

Summary

If you’d like to try a novel approach to web development, I hope you’ll give Nephtali a try.  Cpanel appears to be approaching a release that will include PHP 5.3.1, making Nephtali more available in the wild very soon :)
