Open Source Web Development Framework

Current Status: 1.1v released and 1.3v on hold.

I love ruby on rails but the reality does not let me stick only with ruby language. Some times php is only way to develop some app for the clients. So I needed some framework which would work like rails, but no one found online allow me to write code and functionality so quickly like rails. Since 2006 I've started develop framework on my own. I've tried to focus on basic functionality first like a controllers, models, views, helpers etc.

Then I and my current company have started using and testing. We wrote few smallest and biggest successfully applications. In 2008 I focused more on flexibility and code benchmarking of the framework which required recode the entire engine. As we know rails allow overwrite the methods, php is not so cool, but new engine allow to do that trick, so lets say you have $this->link_to() which is part of html helper class, now you can define in your helper function link_to and the engine will discover automatically.

Time is huge barrier which forced me to put the project on hold. I hope I will go back next year, at least release 1.3 version which is done but not downloadable on the phpway.org site.

Still need to work on the api, documentation and howto's. Next I will build the section also on this site with tips and tricks.

If anyone is interested I will email 1.3 version, it's really worth it to check it out.
