A lightweight MVC PHP framework designed for speed and simplicty

PHPixie PHP Framework

Website: phpixie.com

PHPixie started as a micro framework and has gradually grown to be one of the most popular fullstack PHP frameworks while retaining its high performance. This is in part because of the strict architecture that avoids common pitfalls such as reliance on static methods, global scope, singletons and other antipatterns, thus also ensuring that the code is easy to read, debug, extend and test. In fact, all PHPixie components boast full unit test coverage. This PHP framework never stands in your way and provides you with full control over execution flow. It's easy to learn and straightforward to master.

But it's not all just about the code. The PHPixie community is very friendly and helpful—you can expect an answer to your question within minutes of asking it in the chat. The framework documentation is full of examples and is regularly updated with tutorial videos.

project's Issues

/bundles/app/web folder not found

If you are on Windows create a symlink from the /bundles/app/web folder to /web/bundles/app. For Linux and Mac users the symlink should work automatically.

I don't see /bundles/app/web folder found?

PHPixie in a subfolder

Phpixie url: http://localhost/phpixie/web (no vhost)

Is there any setting like 'base_url' => '/' in Kohana, that allows me (along with .htaccess RewriteBase) to have Phpixie in a subfolder ?

I looked for it, but it looks like it is missing - witch is an issue, since routes will work after adding 'phpixie/web/, but sending form from sample app end up not on /localhost/phpixie/web/ but on /localhost/

Add missing Docblocks

More docblocks are needed for the top layer APIs that are used the most. At the very least simple param and return tags for code completion in IDEs.

Dynamically use 'partial' with HAML

Is there any way i can use a PHP variable to dynamically use the 'partial' tool in the HAML files i create?

I've tried a bunch of things, but things like this

 partial:$foo

or

 echo "partial:{$foo}"

don't work.

Event the one you posted here: http://phpixie.com/modules/haml-module/#highlighter_62632 fails, because it gets the literal value, not the variable that's holding it.

Hardcoded class names

In modules/orm/classes/orm.php (and many of your classes) you reference methods from the current class with the fully qualified name:

$rel_model = ORM::factory($rel['model']);

This destroys any ability for people to extend classes and override methods. You really should use this:

$rel_model = static::factory($rel['model']);

If it's an instance, you should do:

$rel_model = $this->factory($rel['model']);

But calling the class name from the class is unnecessary and restrictive.

Routing is extremely confusing

Based on the documentation I have no real idea how routing works.

It seems that only basic routing has been implemented, with no support for callbacks or RESTful URLs.

Simply implementing the Symfony2 Routing Component would take care of all of that, and you can wrap it up however you like if their API is no good for your PHPixie users.

Counting in a foreach

Why count an item on every single iteration of the foreach? This might be a minor performance tweak, but this should never be written like this in the first place:

https://github.com/dracony/PHPixie/blob/master/system/classes/config.php#L128

$c = count($keys);

And right underneath you're referencing Config:: instead of static:: as mentioned in #9.

Using the ORM from the console.

I was wondering if there is a way to use the orm from the console?

SQL Syntax error on PDO delete query for Postgres

DELETE statements built by the PDO Query builder class cause an SQL Syntax error when executed against a PostgreSQL database.

Buy quickly looking at the code, I'd suggest to use the same DELETE query template for pgsql as the one used for SQLite. A patch like that works for me.

Fatal error: Class 'phpixie_Controller'

Hi,
Today I've just try PHPixie for the first time trying to follow the 30 min tutorial page.

I cant even make it work without changing anything, I have an "Fatal error: Class 'phpixie_Controller' not found in C:\www\phpixie\system\classes\request.php on line 90" just by trying to access to http://localhost/phpixie/

is there any solution ?

regards, Leo

Uneccessary scope docblock keywords

@access public

This was for PHP 4 and is not required in PHP 5.

unexpected behavior Result::as_array()

DB::as_array() returns Array of Objects but should return array of arrays like in kohana...

Repeating things that have the same result

You do this sort of thing a lot:

(strtolower($p[0]) == 'or' || strtolower($p[0]) == 'and')

That really should be:

(in_array(strtolower($p[0]), array('or', 'and'))

Actually it should be:

(in_array(strtolower($p[0]), array('or', 'and', 'xor'))

Gotta have that XOR.

phpixie.com broken

Sorry for my off topic issue.
certificate which used in phpixe.com seem to be broken.
So we can not access it.
My chrome said : ERR_CONNECTION_RESET
Would you like to fix it?
Thanks.

Namespaces

This framework entirely ignores namespaces, yet is PHP 5.3 and up. Even if the namespacing was only on the core to avoid conflicts with other libraries this would be beneficial.

HMVC support?

Your Framework support HMVC?

Migrations are over-reaching and under-delivering

Trying to make migrations know everything about your database engines is a tricky way to go. Generally you want to build some sort of Schema manipulation tool, then your migrations just run up and down logic and nothing else.

For example: Schema Builder & Migrations from Laravel.

This is the same theory to how CodeIgniter, FuelPHP and Laravel have done it - mostly because its a logical seperated way of working. Kohana never really got migrations right, so going anywhere near their approach (or trying your own array based thing) is going to lead to pain and suffering.

You can't cover all possible combinations of a table structure with an array, and trying just makes for a INCREDIBLY confusing documentation process. Callbacks > Arrays, because you can document a callbacks arguments and the objects and methods that they contain.

Inconsistent Styling

Super random styling on the code for brackets and indentation:

Inconsistent Variable Naming

protected $_group_by;
protected $_orderby = array();

Route->url() generates an url related from /

When using $pixie->routing->get('route')->url($options)
generated string always starts with / ( as defined in assets/config/routing.php )
in case when $pixie->basepath is different (like /web/) generated links are not valid, as front-end controller is not available in /.

Either Route::url should be using $pixie->basepath to generate correct url related to /, or is should generate relative url without leading /. However, $pixie->basepath should still be required for $absoulte == true case in Route::url call, so, $pixie->basepath should be passed to Route with __constructor, and then used in Route::url.

I have a preliminary bugfix ready, which I can post for review.

missed ","

Hi, i found missed ',' in
vendor/phpxie/cache/assets/config/cache.php on line 14

and
wrong comments

Конструктор форм

Основной требуемый функционал:

• Простое отображение формы по именам полей таблицы
  

• Вывод в форме уже занесённых в таблицу данных для редактирования
  

• Если из одной формы данные при сохранении идут в несколько таблиц, обеспечить связь
  

• Обеспечить загрузку справочников значений для тех полей, где хранятся только идентификаторы
  

• По возможности, сделать так, чтобы справочники могли загружаться как иерархические деревья со встроенной или внешней реализацией
  

• Возможность использовать свой шаблон отрисовки формы вместо стандартного
  

И уже моё личное пожелание: возможность сохранить данные формы в БД не только в таблицах, но и в виде json-поля. Но этим, скорее всего, сам и буду заниматься.

where is vendor folder?

Hi.
I can't find "vendor" in github repository, so just to look code I have to find somewhere URL http://phpixie.com/, find here how to download, unpack zip-archive, run IDE and only then look at the code of this framework.

ORM: how to clone object?

Is there an elegant way to copy object? There is no clone() or copy() method in api, how can i create, for example, $pixie_twin from $pixie?

Add more providers to PHPixie\Social

PHPixie\Social currently works with Github, Vkontakte, Facebook and Google+. Having some others would be nice too, like e.g. Github.

Make the greeting page more spectacular

The first thing new users see after running PHPixie is "Have fun coding". It would be nice to change it to something pleasant looking with simple css, maybe add some links to the chat, demo projects, etc.

Rock paper scissor

DB class (fields)

When i call
->fields('id', 'alias')
->fields('name', 'alias2')

result contain 'alias2' field only...

API docs are broken

Some pages are white-screens: http://d.pr/i/ybvJ

Some are just empty: http://d.pr/i/rLrK

Disallowing Order By RAND()

By forcing two arguments and throwing an exception if its not asc or desc you are disallowing the perfectly valid ORDER BY RAND() syntax.

Expectected behaviour:
Configuration loads from /assets/config dir and after these loads from /bundles/app/assets/config dir

Sample configurations for different environments

Some guides on setting up PHPixie on Apache/Nginx on Mac, Windows, MAMP, XAMP, etc would really help newcomers.
