README

Started off as a HTML-templating and URL-routing script for quickly creating web applications, ui is now more than just a user interface manager. It now supports modular libraries, hooks, basic benchmarking and logging as well.

The primary reason for developing ui was speed and efficiency. The PHP frameworks I encountered (I looked at Model-View-Process based frameworks) seemed inefficient as they consumed too much memory due to overly-populated namespaces, unnecessary abstractions and encapsulations; or were inconvenient to use due to strict naming conventions.

With prime focus on minimal-overhead and flexibility, most features are modularly added using libraries, instead of being supplied with the core. Adding/using libraries, hooks or controls is extremely flexible with a minimal directory structuring scheme.

Requirements

  • ui uses PHP namespaces and hence requires at least PHP 5.
  • Fully featured URL routing requires .htaccess support, mod_rewrite and PATH_INFO enabled. However, URL routing will work partially with all or some of these disabled (detailed in url routing).
  • Depending upon the libraries you use, you might need CURL or other dependencies.

This project has been discontinued, as I have shifted to node.js environment and there are no other contributors. Bugreports and fixes are still welcomed.
