phpWork is an event-driven(EDP), component-based framework similar as architecture to ASP.NET. It is part
of "The work family" including
javawork.org,
phpwork.org and
flashwork.org. It helps you build php-based websites in a very fast, reliable, safe and well-organized way.
The framework is influenced by other PHP frameworks, Java-based ones and mostly by ASP.NET and Borland Delphi.
It tries to get the best of the above platforms as well as to avoid some problematic parts. Basically it:
- Brings the elegance of Java and C#
- Drops all Perl-like bizzare statements that other PHP frameworks use
- Relies extensively on OOP concepts
- Uses programming rather than declarative approach
Code-behind approach is used, so every webpage consists of 2 files:
- .PHP - presentation logic
- .PHP.SCRIPT - business/programming logic
If you are a first time visitor and want to get familiar and start using
phpWork in less than a hour,
these are the practical steps to do:
- Go to the examples section and spend 10-15 minutes taking a look over the stuff. For every example both source files are available at the bottom right corner.
- Go to the documentation section and follow the links on the left. Browse the phpWork classes and have a look at TApplication, TPage and TWebControl.
- Then get the latest version. You can download as well all the examples and class documentation.
