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
