Core PHP Framework

A Laravel-like PHP framework built from scratch using core PHP.

Features

• MVC architecture
• Routing system
• Dependency injection container
• View rendering
• Database abstraction layer
• Environment configuration

Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. Run composer install to install dependencies
3. Configure your web server to point to the public directory
4. Copy .env.example to .env and configure your environment variables
5. Start building your application!

Running the Application

Using PHP's Built-in Server

The quickest way to run your application locally is using PHP's built-in web server:

# Navigate to the public directory
cd public

# Start the built-in PHP server
php -S localhost:8000

Directory Structure

• app/ - Application code
• bootstrap/ - Application bootstrap files
• config/ - Configuration files
• database/ - Database migrations and seeds
• public/ - Public files and entry point
• resources/ - Views and assets
• routes/ - Route definitions
• storage/ - Application storage
• tests/ - Test files
• vendor/ - Composer dependencies

Usage

// Define a route in routes/web.php
$router->get('/hello/{name}', function ($request) {
    $name = $request->get('name');
    return "Hello, {$name}!";
});

Now you have a Laravel-like folder structure and basic framework built with core PHP. This implementation includes:

1. An MVC architecture
2. A routing system similar to Laravel
3. A dependency injection container
4. View rendering
5. Configuration management
6. Database abstraction
7. Service providers
8. Environment variable loading
