Wildfire Application Framework :: Release v0.2.0

Wildfire is an open-source application framework written entirely in PHP 5.1 (E_STRICT safe!) and utilizing the Lesser GNU Public License. It contains several classes and interfaces to improve and simplify your application development experience. The preview release of Wildfire is out! Grab your copy and give it a test drive.

Notable Features

Collections
Empower your iteratable objects with a group of interfaces and classes that build upon PHP's SPL and provide useful features.
Web
Simplify web responses to clients and web requests from them. Easily send various headers and filter request data.
ORM
A powerful, yet simple object-relational mapping system. We took the best ideas from popular design patterns including Unit of Work, Identity Map, and Data Mappers. Persist your data entities across configurable timespans. We also threw in a handy object querying language.
Files and Streams
We authored a handful of wrappers for streams and file and directory resources. Easily perform all of your file and stream operations in a common syntax, regardless of their locations.
RBAC
Lock down your app with simple and effective Role-based Access Control. Easily assign roles to users, groups, and demand them later.

Another PHP Framework?

Yes, another! There are many PHP frameworks available, some quite good. We don't see Wildfire as an end-all-be-all, turn-key solution. It could exist well alongside another framework. For instance: one with an MVC ;-). We wrote this framework to our own preferences. We designed the syntax to be both simple and attractive. If you find some enjoyment in its use, or some needed feature not found somewhere else, all the better! We encourage you to help in development, testing, and general use of the framework; visit the support section for more details.
