Solar - Solar is a framework for PHP 5 that provides well-structured E_STRICT class libraries for the common aspects of application development.

Solar is a framework for PHP 5 that provides well-structured E_STRICT class libraries for the common aspects of application development. Why use Solar? 1. Elegance and consistency: the code base itself is easy to comprehend, adheres to well-documented naming conventions, and exhibits strong conceptual integrity. 2. Thorough integration of enterprise development patterns, such as: * Dependency Injection and Service Locator * Lazy Load * Model View Controller - Front Controller - Page Controller - Table Data Gateway - Data Mapper - Metadata Mapping - Foreign Key Mapping - Association Table Mapping - Template View - Two Step View * Query Object * Registry * Server Session State 3. Full name-spacing: Solar classes have their own PHP 5.2 name-space, and vendors developing to Solar standards also use their own name-space. This makes it easy to mix and match components from other libraries and frameworks. 4. Inheritable configuration by class: Set a value in the config file for one class, and all its children inherit those values by default. 5. Inheritable localization by class: Set the locale strings for a class, and all its children inherit those strings. 6. Easy-to use defense-in-depth against SQL injection, cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery, and other common exploits. 7. Robust and powerful model system that lets you create forms automatically from record objects. 8. Sane and extensible data filtering to validate and sanitize user input. 9. Authentication adapters for LDAP, TypeKey, database, htpasswd, and other sources. 10. Cache adapters for memcache, APC, XCache, and other systems. 11. View helpers for links, images, stylesheets, localized text, form generation, and more. 12. Active and friendly community: Join the mailing list and IRC where we make it point to be nice.
