DuCore - Dusky Core PHP framework

Lightweight collection of classes for setting up a small webpage in no time with no extra libraries.

This codebase borrows many ideas from many places to create very simple (or at least attempts to create a very simple) php "framework" that does not weight down onto the system too much.

Note that this codebase was built for PHP 7.1+

Disclaimer

This framework is still WIP and noone knows if it will ever get a stable release.

Autoloading rules:

• All classes must be inside classes folder
• All classes must be namespaced with their respective folder names (ex: Controllers inside controllers folder)
• Classes may have underscore names but CamelCase naming is preferred

Example:

// This will load file User.php inside folder classes/models
use Models\User;
// Also allowed
new Models_User;
// This should produce the same result but is not guaranteed

Structure

All framework specific files are located in the root and in ducore folder. This repository comes with basic configuration files added and basic index.php to allow for easy start of a new project.

Following is the current general code structure
