QPHP stands for Quick PHP and is a MVC framework similar as architecture to ASP.NET.

I, as the author of the project, have spent the last 8 years working on web projects using various Java frameworks, ASP.NET and PHP. This framework tries to get the best of the above platforms as well as to avoid the problematic parts. Basically it:

• Brings the elegance of Java and C#
• Drops all Perl like bizzare statements that other PHP frameworks use
• Relies extensively on OOP concepts

Code-behind approach is used, so every webpage consists of 2 files:

• .PHP - presentation logic
• .PHP.SCRIPT - business/programming logic

Less than 70 classes Less than 300K in size 3 years of internal use Works with PHP4/PHP5 Easy database access Fast and stable

Event driven, component based AJAX compatible I18N support View/Session/Application states Simple input validation 5 menu controls
