Laravel-inspired, zero dependencies

Small core.
Big ideas.

A practical PHP 8 framework that borrows the workflow you like—routing, middleware, validation, Blade-style views, migrations—without classes or hidden machinery.

route_get('/hello/{name?}',
    function (?string $name = null) {
        return json_response([
            'message' => "Hello, $name!"
        ]);
    },
    ['name' => 'hello']
);

Routes

Expressive verbs, parameters, names, groups, and middleware.

Views

Escaped output, layouts, sections, includes, and familiar directives.

Database

PDO connections, safe bindings, CRUD helpers, and migrations.

Requests

Unified input, JSON, headers, method spoofing, and responses.

Validation

Composable rules, old input, error bags, and redirect helpers.

Console

Serve, inspect routes, migrate, scaffold, and clear caches.

Put the request cycle to work.

This form exercises sessions, CSRF protection, validation, flash data, redirects, and the database helper.
