Simple framework implements a design pattern MVC, based SILEX (PHP micro-framework, created by Symfony2 components). I have taken some ideas from the project GitHub (silex-enhanced). The documentation can be found on the SILEX Online. Examples of installation of the framework given for OS "Windows" and web server Nginx.

Main features of the application:

• application implements a simple application management blog.
• expands with configuration files located in the app/Resources/Сonfig.
• it works as a web or as a console application.
• console application can perform various tasks (e.g. Creation of a database app/Console/scripts/orm/schema_create.bat).
• as an example, the work of the console application implemented to work with the service UBKI.
• realized the localization of two languages: English and Russian.
• ensures the registration process, user authentication and authorization.
• the database created two users with the appropriate rights. The Administrator (login = admin; pass = foo), User (login = user; pass = foo).
• uses a database type SqlLite app/Resources/db/app.db.
• work with databases provided by Doctrine(DBAL, ORM) vendor/doctrine and PHP ActiveRecord library/AR.
• realized the possibility output the pages using the library Pagerfanta library/Pagerfanta.
• used template Twig vendor/twig.
• library of SwiftMailer is used for email vendor/swiftmailer.
• added services such as Zend-Filter, Zend-Json and others vendor/zendframework.
• added services for working with arrays, strings, XML, HTTP, Markdown app/Services/My.
• on the client side using the library: jQuery, Bootstrap 3, RequireJS, Backbone, Vue public/js/lib.
• client-side services are used: Datepicker, FormValidation, MaskInput, Highlight public/js/app/services.
• ToDo implemented application (for the local or server storage) to show the work of the framework Backbone.js public/js/app/bb-todo.
• ToDo implemented application (for the local storage) to show the work of the framework Vue.js public/js/app/vue-todo.

• PHP version >= 5.4
• Apache2, Nginx web server or similar
• Composer

1. Clone silex-mvc project with git.
2. Run composer install.
3. To create a database run the batch file from the console app/Console/scripts/orm/schema_create.bat pre-editing the path to php.exe and app\Console\index.php;
4. Configure the web server so that the entry point was public/index.php.
5. Set, if necessary, the appropriate permissions to write to path/to/project/var.
6. Access your project url with web browser.

Values for config parameters substitution. On application code parameters are accessible through Silex\Application instance $app['config']['parameters'].

General configuration is used as a Web application and a Сonsole application. Put your service providers under service_providers section.

service_providers:
    swiftmailer:
        class: Silex\Provider\SwiftmailerServiceProvider
        parameters:
            swiftmailer.options:
                host: %mail.host%
                port: %mail.port%
                username: %mail.username%
                password: %mail.password%
                encryption: %mail.encryption%
                auth_mode: %mail.auth_mode%
...

The console and web bootstrap config respectively. If you use imports statement the config will be merged recursively allows partial specific configs.

The security firewalls and access control config. All information about it's available here.

It is often helpful to have different configuration values based on the environment the application is running in. For example, you may wish to use a different cache driver locally than you do on your production server.

For this task you can create a file env.yml with specific settings and place it in the root of your application. The file env.yml will replace the values of existing file parameters.yml.
