Simple PHP7 Examples based around a simple and lightweight framework

SPE - Simple PHP7 Examples

Copyright (C) 2015-2017 Mark Constable [email protected] (AGPL-3.0)

A very simple PHP7 "framework" that will be expanded to include more small project examples building on the first very lean foundation and incorporating additional functionality in each successive example. This is not a repository of all the attributes of PHP7, there are already many other great projects and pages that provide excellent PHP7 guides, but rather a series of examples that are fully developed under PHP7 (sury/php7.0 PPA on Ubuntu 15.10 2015-09) and taking advantage of any new PHP7-only constructs where it makes sense. Each folder will contain a more comprehensive example of a working, and hopefully useful, sub-project with a README.md explaining each example. This README will provide an overview and index of all examples and some hints that apply to all the sub-project examples.

• 01-Simple

  At 90 LOC this is about the simplest 3 page example of this particular framework style I could come up with. It is a self-contained single script withall code encapsulated within classes.

• 02-Styled

  Funcionally similar to the above barebones example but with a small amount of inline CSS to provide a minimum of style along with the Roboto font from Google CDN.

• 03-Plugins

  A simple example of providing "plugins" which are basically the model of the traditional MVC coding style. It also includes a simple AJAX link on the About page that dumps the main global output array using the ultra simple remote XHR API. There is also an example of passing a success/error message back into the same page but it will be replaced with session vars in one of the next examples.

• 04-Themes

  Extend the above example to include basic themeing classes and methods.

• 05-Autoload

  Add a simple spl_autoload_register() function to autoload the split out plugin and theme classes.

The associated example README files will act as both code comments and general documentation for each project and an easy way to follow along is to open up two browsers side by side with the README documentation on the left side and drag the reference page line links to the right hand side browser which will highlight the code being discussed.

This function below has proven to be quite useful for examining the code, assuming you have access to the servers error_log file...

function dbg($var = null)
{
    if (is_object($var))
        error_log(ReflectionObject::export($var, true));
    ob_start();
    print_r($var);
    $ob = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    error_log($ob);
}
