Publisher review:Vida is a PHP5 MVC (Model View Controller) framework. Vida is a PHP5 MVC (Model View Controller) framework. It delivers 6 basic services for web applications using the new OO and XML features of PHP5: - database encapsulation
- permission management
- form handling
- container based GUI control using Smarty templates
- action manager
- internationalisation
The vision is to enable abstract and rapid development of sophisticated PHP applications in as few lines of code as possible.
First the data model is defined by configuring the database tables and their relations (1:1, 1:n or n:m) to other ones. Secondly, the structure of the root view is customized in a single file with few lines of code to fit the needs.
Thirdly, the basic web application is ready! If required, specific form field properties including labels and default values, validators with informative error messages, complex actions executed upon form submit, access rights for users and groups (as XML), the language file (as XML) and so on can be programmed and configured to further customize the web application.
And if the standard GUI components don't fit, new ones can easily be designed by changing the Smarty templates.
