PHP framework written in c and built as a PHP extension.
- PHP 5.2 +
Yaf is an PECL extension, thus you can simply install it by:
$pecl install yaf
$/path/to/phpize
$./configure --with-php-config=/path/to/php-config
$make && make install
Yaf binary dlls could be found at http://code.google.com/p/yafphp/downloads/list
Yaf manual could be found at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.yaf.php

you could find a documented prototype script here: https://github.com/elad-yosifon/php-yaf-doc
A classic Application directory layout:
- .htaccess // Rewrite rules
+ public
| - index.php // Application entry
| + css
| + js
| + img
+ conf
| - application.ini // Configure
- application/
- Bootstrap.php // Bootstrap
+ controllers
- Index.php // Default controller
+ views
|+ index
- index.phtml // View template for default controller
- library
- models // Models
- plugins // Plugins
you should set DocumentRoot to application/public, thus only the public folder can be accessed by user
index.php in the public directory is the only way in of the application, you should rewrite all request to it(you can use .htaccess in Apache+php mod)
<?php
define("APPLICATION_PATH", dirname(dirname(__FILE__)));
$app = new Yaf_Application(APPLICATION_PATH . "/conf/application.ini");
$app->bootstrap() //call bootstrap methods defined in Bootstrap.php
->run();#.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* index.php
server {
listen ****;
server_name domain.com;
root document_root;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*) /index.php/$1 last;
}
}
$HTTP["host"] =~ "(www.)?domain.com$" {
url.rewrite = (
"^/(.+)/?$" => "/index.php/$1",
)
}
application.ini is the application config file
[product]
;CONSTANTS is supported
application.directory = APPLICATION_PATH "/application/" alternatively, you can use a PHP array instead:
<?php
$config = array(
"application" => array(
"directory" => application_path . "/application/",
),
);
$app = new yaf_application($config);
....
In Yaf, the default controller is named IndexController:
<?php
class IndexController extends Yaf_Controller_Abstract {
// default action name
public function indexAction() {
$this->getView()->content = "Hello World";
}
}
?>###view script The view script for default controller and default action is in the application/views/index/index.phtml, Yaf provides a simple view engineer called "Yaf_View_Simple", which supported the view template written by PHP.
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo $content; ?>
</body>
</html>you can generate the example above by using Yaf Code Generator: https://github.com/laruence/php-yaf/tree/master/tools/cg
