What is PHPDevShell?
PHPDevShell is a PHP framework with a GUI. In short, that means it provides you with both PHP libraries to build on (like Zend Framework) and a working website to put your scripts in. Hence the name, it’s in fact a “shell” to shelter and protect your work.
Where would I typically use PHPDevShell?
PHPDevShell can be used to develop web orientated system, from websites to business applications. PHPDevShell ships with most common used GUI functionality found in applications and websites. This head start in development allows you to immediately focus on the problem at hand. For security and usability it already provides you with user registration and management, role management, group management, access rights security, system settings, powerful theming system, control panel, cronjob management, menu management, plugin management, tagging management, CRUD, ORM, etc.
Why would I want to use PHPDevShell?
PHPDevShell provides the ability for you to get a php application/website up and running in an incredibly short amount of time. But what about resource usage and execution speed? PHPDevShell’s default memory usage is half that of Wordpress which is also considered “lightweight” in the world of PHP. PHPDevShell never forces you in a particular design philosophy either. There is no doubt that there are incredible frameworks out there, we respect all of them and acknowledge them. However, PHPDevShell is designed to perform where little development time/resources is available.
Final Word
Simply install PHPDevShell as per instructions, write a PHP script as you would normally using clean php, add it to the menu and you have a full blown system behind it handling everything for you. You will impress your clients having an available preview of the base within hours.
Unlike most other frameworks PHPDevShell does not generate any kind of code. No terminal commands have to be executed either. There are several reason why we opted out of code generation, mostly because a newcomer feels lost and things could get messy or complicated quickly. The cleanest way of coding is by doing things by hand.
