• Furthermore, he is currently developing the the first game-based training center in Mindanao


Brewing• We are currently developing the first game-based

What is Fuel PHP?• Fuel is a simple, flexible, community driven PHP

5.3 web framework based on the best ideas of other frameworks with a fresh start.

• The framework was started in late 2010 by Dan Horrigan then shortly after the team grew to include Phil Sturgeon, Jelmer Schreuder and Harro Verton. The team has decades of PHP experience between them and have all been involved with Open-Source projects such as CodeIgniter, PyroCMS, ExiteCMS and DataMapper ORM to name but a few.


Basic Facts• 9 months in the making of (1.0)• 24,155 lines of goodness.• 40+ developers contributed • Community driven• Based on ideas from CodeIgniter, Kohana and Rails but

totally rewritten from the ground• Lightweight (800kb.gz)• Load what you need• Configuration over convention• No automagic


Why I Choose FuelPHP• Quality of code (very sexy)• Coding standards• Lightweight (smallest footprint 856kb)• Performance

– Load only what is needed– Short travel for each code execution

• Easy to create your own libraries• Responsive community• Flexibility to adapt to MY style


Getting Started: Downloadwww.fuelphp.com

• Framework• Documentation• Packages

– Oil– Auth– ORM


Requirements• Web Server – Apache running on *nix.• Database• PHP Version – 5.3.2• mod_rewrite – For clean and seo-friendly URLs• PHPUnit – 3.5.12 (for testing)

• Works easily with WAMP and XAMPP


Installing: Windows• Install WAMP or XAMPP• Download Fuel PHP• Run!


Recommended Tools• Adobe Dreamweaver• CodeLobster• E-texteditor• Komodo• Eclipse• Google Chrome• WAMP• Notepad++• Navicat


Your First AnimationClicking your way through Adobe Edge

FuelPHP MVC• MVC is an approach to separate code depending

on what role it plays in an application• The application starts by loading a Controller• That Controller executes a method which

retrieves data using Models• Once done, the controller decides what View to

load, it contains the output the visitors get to see• Clear separation of design and business logic


How does MVC work?

View Model

Controller


Controllers• Fuel's routing decides based on the

requested URL what controller toload and what method to call upon it.

• The Controller decides what actions to take, what to do with any user input, what data getsmanipulated and which View is shown

• The Controller does none of these things itself however; it calls upon Models and Classes to do the work.


Models• Models contain data that needs to be processed

Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD)• A Model is a representation of some kind of data

and has the methods to change them. • Never put SQL queries in a Controller, those are

put in the Model and the Controller will call it.• If your database changes you won't need to

change all your Controllers, just the Model.


Views• Views contain your HTML, which should never

be found in your Controllers or any other classthat is not specifically meant to create output

• Separate your design from your logic • Change the layout and look through the Views• Views can contain loops, results, forms and the

overall design and layout of the site.


ViewModels• When your application gets more complex you'll

discover that it gets hard to decide if a piece of logic really belongs in the Controller

• What if it is very specifically about the View and has little to do with your application logic?

• This is where ViewModels come in; they are the glue between your controllers and your views.


HMVC Requests• HMVC requests are a great way to separate logic

and re-use controller logic in multiple places. • One common use of this is when you use a theme

or template engine to generate your pages, where every page is divided into sections, and sections are populated by widgets.

• By using modules to produce the widget output, you can create a highly modular application, with easy to re-use components.


Let’s Code .. Not!!!Excited, hehe


OIL• Generate - Build MVC components, migrations

and entire scaffolding.• Refine - Run tasks such as migrate and your own

custom ones.• Package - Install, update and remove packages.• Console - Test your code in real time using an

interactive shell.


Things you need to do• Create a database (PHPMyAdmin/Navicat)• Configure database (/fuel/app/config/db.php)• Add ORM (/fuel/app/config/config.php)• Create basic CRUD site with OIL
