Tutorial
layout
A classic application directory layout:
- .htaccess // Rewrite rules
+ public
| - index.php // Application entry
| + css
| + js
| + img
+ conf
| - application.ini // Configure
- application/
- Bootstrap.php // Bootstrap
+ controllers
- Index.php // Default controller
+ views
|+ index
- index.phtml // View template for default controller
+ library // libraries
+ models // Models
+ plugins // Plugins
DocumentRoot
You should set DocumentRoot
to application/public
, thus only the public folder can be accessed by user
index.php
index.php
in the public directory is the only way in of the application, you should rewrite all request to it(you can use .htaccess
in Apache+php mod)
<?php
define("APPLICATION_PATH", dirname(dirname(__FILE__)));
$app = new Yaf_Application(APPLICATION_PATH . "/conf/application.ini");
$app->bootstrap() //call bootstrap methods defined in Bootstrap.php
->run();
Rewrite rules
Apache
#.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* index.php
Nginx
server {
listen ****;
server_name domain.com;
root document_root;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*) /index.php/$1 last;
}
}
Lighttpd
$HTTP["host"] =~ "(www.)?domain.com$" {
url.rewrite = (
"^/(.+)/?$" => "/index.php/$1",
)
}
application.ini
application.ini
is the application config file
[product]
;CONSTANTS is supported
application.directory = APPLICATION_PATH "/application/"
Alternatively, you can use a PHP array instead:
<?php
$config = array(
"application" => array(
"directory" => application_path . "/application/",
),
);
$app = new yaf_application($config);
....
default controller
In Yaf, the default controller is named IndexController
:
<?php
class IndexController extends Yaf_Controller_Abstract {
// default action name
public function indexAction() {
$this->getView()->content = "Hello World";
}
}
?>
view script
The view script for default controller and default action is in the application/views/index/index.phtml, Yaf provides a simple view engine called "Yaf_View_Simple", which support the view template written in PHP.
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo $content; ?>
</body>
</html>
Run the Application
Alternative
You can generate the example above by using Yaf Code Generator: https://github.com/laruence/php-yaf/tree/master/tools/cg
./yaf_cg -d output_directory [-a application_name] [--namespace]
