Besides MVC model-view-controller actually there are more components which built up a complete PHP framework. Let's sum it all:
Model is a database representation dealing with tables and other database objects.
View is a visual representation dealing with HTML layouts, CSS, JavaScript, form, buttons, lash messages, etc. This layer also can be extended using tempelate engine/language such as Volt.
Controller is responsible for joining model and view together with certain rules and logic.
Router and dispatcher is a part of controller which...

Why I Choose Phalcon PHP Framework
Here's why I choose Phalcon PHP Framework for my project site:
From framework's nature perspective, Phalcon is a C based framework so it's more efficient, faster and lighter than PHP based framework.
From benchmark reports perspective, it has been proven that C based framework is faster and use less resources.
So far there're two option for C based framework; Yaf and Phalcon. I choose Phalcon because it's well documented and they provide a lot samples. ...

Benchmark Reports on C Based Framework
Because C based framework already running inside the web server, it's obvious that C based framework run faster, and need less resource than PHP based framework. But now we'll take a look several benchmark reports as proofs. This is a simple "Hello World" test, simple MVC logic, no database connections, no complex logic:
Hardware platform
CPU: Intel Core i5 750 (2.67GHz x4)
RAM: 4GB
Software Environment
Debian 6.0.4 x86_64 (2.6.32-41)
apache...
PHP Based Framework VS C Based Framework
Basically there are two kind of PHP framework: PHP based and C based. What is the differences? PHP based framework built by PHP language, which contains PHP files and interpreted simultaneously with your own PHP codes.
In the other hand, C based framework built by C language, which contains C files that already compiled and planted as a web server extension. So the framework is already active in memory together with the web server. These compiled...

What is MVC?
Model–view–controller (MVC) is a an architecture which separates software development complexity into three layers; model, view and controller. A model is a database representation dealing with tables and other database objects. A view is a visual representation dealing with HTML layouts, CSS, JavaScript, form, buttons, etc. And finally a controller is responsible for joining model and view together with certain rules and logic.
With this architecture,...

Pure PHP Coding VS Framework PHP Coding
As you can see from the picture bellow, a framework simply just an “add-on” which provides methods and toolkits to your original PHP code. So it's easy to understand that this framework add-on will add more bloat to your applications. So why bother coding with PHP framework?
As we have discussed before, when you develop simple applications you mostly don't need a framework. But when your application grow more and more complex, at some point,...

Why We Need a PHP Framework?
Why should I use a framework? Why bother learn and code with framework, instead of pure PHP? Because learning and coding with framework invest more time and man power. I asked these questions before I decided to use a framework for my project site.
A framework actually is a code, that contains classes, tools and methods, which you can use to develop a complex application more efficient. When an application grow more and more complex, a conventional approach (pure PHP coding) is no longer efficient and suitable.
If you develop a simple plain PHP...

Why Choosing The Best PHP Framework is Important
I've been searching for the best PHP framework for my project site. And there're plenty of choices; CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Yii, Symphony, Zend, Yaf and Phalcon, just to name a few of them. Before I chose one of them, I start to think what criteria I should use among them. Beside ease and simplicity, speed and low consuming resources PHP framework would be the main criteria. And one more thing, the best PHP framework should be well documented with tons of tutorial and sample. It's useless if you have the best PHP framework but it's very hard to learn...
