# miniMVC 

miniMVC is a minimalistic Modular MVC framework, with built-in minifier, and pure-PHP templating system.

### Unique features
#### Extensive use of PHP's magic methods on the base class
* `__toString()` method allows a view of the current class object when the current class object is used as a string. If you prefer `var_dump()` or `var_export()`, you can pass the name of that function if you call the `__toString` method directly.
		
	Eg. `$this . "string"`, `$this->__toString()`, `echo $this`;

* `__call()` method allows (in PHP 5.3+) the dynamic addition of callable closure objects 

	Eg. `$this->foo = function($baz){}` is callable as `$this->foo()`, with  the current object as the last argument

##### Database class is an extension of PHP's PDO class.

* miniMVC supports any database supported by PDO
* Database class also implements the `__toString` method
