PHPWork News

A short list of reasons why you should use PHPWork for your web application:

1. Easy, XML-based configuration is cached for performance.
2. Encourages (and simplifies) modular code development and reuse.
3. Intuitive groupings of actions into namespace packages based on the URL pathname.
4. Package inheritance allows you to set shared default results and other configuration in a single parent package.
5. Integration with most common view technologies.
6. Easy to add additional view types without modifying any PHPWork source code.
7. Action Interceptors (similar to Servlet Filters) allow custom processing before and after actions are executed.
8. Lightweight architecture has very little performance overhead.

With the addition of a global-results configuration element, you can now specify default results for all actions in a package. For example, you can define a global result for "login" that redirects to a login page rather than defining it for each action.... read more

This is the first public release of PHPWork. There is little user documentation, although API documentation can be found in the phpwork-docs package.
