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 pff2

Pff2 MVC PHP framework

Pff2 is a lightweight MVC framework for PHP 8.1+.

Quick start (Composer)

Create a new project directory and add stonedz/pff2 to composer.json.
Install dependencies:
Scaffold app files:
Your project entry point is generated from resources/site_skeleton/index.php.

Generated development files include:

development/compose.yaml
development/nginx.conf
development/PHP.Dockerfile

Quick start (Docker)

The canonical development compose file is:

development/compose.yaml

Run:

Default service endpoints from this setup:

Web: http://localhost:8081
Mailcatcher UI: http://localhost:1080
MariaDB: localhost:33061

Installation notes

Composer install no longer auto-creates app symlinks; run vendor/bin/init explicitly.
vendor/bin/update refreshes framework-controlled generated files (for existing projects), including Docker dev files in development/.
Generated writable folders now default to 775 permissions (instead of 777).
vendor/bin/init and vendor/bin/update skip optional copies when source files are not present, avoiding noisy cp: cannot stat errors.

Security defaults

Pff2 now uses safer defaults in the app skeleton:

Exception details are configurable via show_exception_details and should be disabled in production.
Session/cookie hardening options are available in app/config/config.user.php:
- security_cookie_httponly
- security_cookie_samesite
- security_cookie_secure
- security_session_strict_mode
Auth module default hashing is password_hash / password_verify (legacy md5/sha256 remain deprecated compatibility paths).

Upgrade notes

Mail module has migrated from SwiftMailer to Symfony Mailer.
- swiftmailer/swiftmailer is removed from dependencies.
- Existing mail/module.conf.yaml keys (Type, Host, Port, Username, Password, Encryption) continue to work.
- sendMail(...) API remains available and returns true on success, false on transport failure.
If your app still uses auth passwordType: md5 or sha256, plan migration to password_hash.

Notes on templates

PHP views are the recommended template path for new apps. Smarty templates are considered legacy/best-effort support.
