FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

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.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package php-starter

PHP Starter Framework

A modern, lightweight PHP starter kit and micro-framework with a built-in admin panel, MVC architecture, and Docker support. Designed as a robust foundation for building secure and scalable web applications without the overhead of heavy frameworks.

Core Features & Architecture

🛠️ Custom MVC Micro-framework

Built from scratch with zero heavy dependencies to keep the application blazing fast:

Routing Engine — Supports GET, POST, route groups, prefixes, and parameter extraction.
Dependency Injection Container — Intelligent container featuring autowiring via Reflection. Resolves dependencies recursively and supports singletons (getInstance()->bind(...)).
Middleware Pipeline — Clean request filtering before hitting controllers. Includes built-in AuthMiddleware, AdminMiddleware (with dynamic IP whitelisting), and CsrfMiddleware.

🛡️ Security & Authentication

Secure Sessions — Stored in Redis with automatic TTL for performance and security.
CSRF Protection — Integrated middleware automatically generates and validates _csrf tokens on every POST request.
Authentication — Bcrypt hashed passwords, rate-limiting against brute force, and ready-to-use 2FA logic.
Role-based Access Control (RBAC) — Distinct permissions for regular users and administrators.

🌐 Localization (i18n)

Built-in Translation System — A robust helper __('key') maps dictionary files from the lang/ directory to strings in the current user's locale.
Session & DB tied — Language preferences persist across sessions.

🎨 Themes & UI

Dark & Light Modes — Native support for theme switching out of the box.
Dynamic Settings — App name, mail host, UI settings are driven by the settings database table, configurable directly from the Admin Panel instead of hardcoded .env files.

📋 Logging & Telemetry

Database & File Logging — User actions (user_logs) and daemon background jobs (daemon_jobs_log) are tracked.
System Dashboard — Built-in SystemService that tracks server metrics (RAM, Disk, CPU Load Average, Uptime) and outputs them to the admin dashboard.

🐳 Docker Ready

Comes with a complete docker-compose.yml for instant local development.
Bundles Nginx, PHP-FPM 8.2, MySQL 8.0, and Redis 7.2.

Stack

Layer	Technology
Language	PHP 8.1+
Web server	Nginx (via Docker) / Apache
Database	MySQL 8.0 / MariaDB
Cache / Sessions	Redis (Predis)
Mail	PHPMailer

Tests	PHPUnit 11

Requirements

PHP 8.1+ (if running bare-metal)
Composer
MySQL 8.0+ or MariaDB
Redis server
Or simply Docker & Docker Compose for local development.

Installation via Composer

The easiest way to start a new project is via Composer:

Composer will automatically clone the repository, remove the git history, and install all dependencies.

Installation via Docker (Alternative)

Clone the repository
Setup environment
Start the containers
Install PHP dependencies
Run migrations & seed
Access the application Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost.

Testing

The framework includes a comprehensive test suite powered by PHPUnit.
