Project guidelines
The project guidelines are to build a framework based on the best ideas from other ones. The framework must provide powerful functionalities, it must be easy to work with, and it should have a lightweight codebase that takes account of community developers' orientations.[3][22][23][24]
Architecture overview
- FuelPHP is written in PHP 5.3 and requires at least version 5.3.3 of PHP for version 1.x.[25][26]
- Cascading File System (inspired by Kohana framework): a directory structure partially based on namespaces used by classes.[25]
- Flexibility: almost every component of the core framework can be extended or replaced.[27]
- Modularity: applications can be divided up into modules.[28]
- Extensibility: additional functionalities can be added to the framework through packages.[3][25]
Features overview
- A URL routing system[4]
- RESTful implementation[4]
- HMVC implementation[3][4]
- Template parsing: Stags (a specific FuelPHP template engine) and Mustache template engines are included; drivers for Markdown, Smarty, Twig, Haml, Jade and Dwoo template engines[29]
- Form[30] and data validation[31] features[3]
- An Object Relational Mapper (ORM)[3][32]
- Vulnerability protections: the framework encodes output, provides CSRF protection, cross-site scripting protection, input filtering features, and prevents SQL injection[33]
- The Auth package provides a set of components with which authentication and authorization application functionalities can be built.[34][35] Sentry is another authentication and authorisation package for FuelPHP.
- A caching system[36]
Tools
- Profiling and debugging: PHP Quick Profiler integration[37]
- Database migrations tool (inspired by the popular Ruby on Rails framework)[3]
- Scaffolding (inspired by Ruby on Rails framework, Oil package)[3]
- Tasks (operations that can be executed through the command line)[4]
- Testing: PHPUnit integration (Oil package)[23]
