PHP Framework

PHP framework entirely made by AI with Windsurf IDE and Claude in a few hours (2025-01-08).

I included the most basic framework classes in the initial prompt to reduce some complexity at first - currently all is file-based (db could be added). A bunch of methods was missing in AI's code but the AI was able to fix that with a series of prompts. Basically we have a framework with nearly no effort.

Possible extensions

• detail check of AI's code
• maybe improve some code or add some methods
• further framework classes could be added

Features

• File-based data storage (no database required)
• Simple routing system using query parameters
• Session management with caching
• User authentication
• AJAX handling
• Error handling
• Configuration management
• Multilingual support
• Bootstrap 5.3 UI

Installation

• Run composer install to get dependencies

  composer install

• Ensure these directories exist and are writable

  • /data
  • /data/cache
  • /data/config
  • /data/users
