FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package nano-php
Nano PHP
A minimal PHP microframework. No magic, no bloat — just routing, controllers, views, and a few security essentials.
Author: Vlado Majoros, 4aSuite License: MIT
Requirements
- PHP ^8.1
- Apache with
mod_rewrite(or equivalent front-controller setup) - No external dependencies for the core
Installation
Point your web server document root to the public/ directory. Open the project in a browser — the welcome page confirms the framework is running.
Project structure
Configuration
Copy .env.example to .env and adjust as needed. Values are exposed as PHP constants.
Dot-notation keys (DB.HOST) are grouped into a single array constant DB['HOST'].
Routing
Define routes in App/Config/routes.php:
Route parameter types:
| Syntax | Matches | Example |
|---|---|---|
(:num:id) |
Digits only | /users/42 |
(:any:slug) |
Any non-slash string | /posts/hello-world |
A missing route throws HttpException(404), which the framework handles automatically.
Controllers
Extend App\Core\Controller. Every action must return a Response instance.
Available in every controller:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
$this->request->get($key) |
GET parameter |
$this->request->post($key) |
POST parameter |
$this->request->input($key) |
POST or GET |
$this->request->method() |
HTTP method string |
$this->request->path() |
Normalized URL path |
$this->view($view, $data, $layout) |
Render view → Response |
$this->json($data, $status) |
JSON response |
$this->redirect($url, $code) |
Redirect (internal only) |
Views
View files live in App/views/. Pass data as an associative array — keys become variables inside the template.
Use the global e() helper to escape output (htmlspecialchars wrapper).
Layouts live in App/views/layouts/. The rendered view is passed as $content:
Built-in layouts: main (full HTML5), blank (raw output, no wrapper).
Session
Cookies are configured with httponly, samesite=Lax, use_strict_mode. secure flag is set automatically when HTTPS is detected.
CSRF
Token is 64-character hex (random_bytes(32)), stored in session, rotated on each verification.
Language / Translations
Translation keys are uppercased and defined as PHP constants. Falls back to the key name if not defined.
Security headers
Sent automatically on every response:
Override any header via $this->response->header($key, $value) before returning from the controller.
HTTP errors
Throw HttpException from anywhere — the framework catches it and sends the appropriate HTTP status:
