WebBox or FuseBox?

[s2r]

Has anybody tried/used any of these methodologies to build webapps?

I read the article here in phpbuilder, but didn't completely understood. I need more examples. 🙂

Any ideas/suggestions?

I remember fusebox when it was first writen for Coldfusion.... its a system for building an application framework that has strict rules on variables names and structures etc. I thought it was a bit OTT at the time, but the underlying idea was ok.

But have you got any coding examples or pdf, docs about it?

I suggest looking HERE as it has all you need to know about fusebox with PHP.

But in a nutshell, here's the absolute basics:

Create a main application page (for your app) with a case/switch structure.
nest further application pages (as above) inside each switch (as above), for each sub area/section of your app. untill you get down to the bottom level.
Thats why its called Fusebox (a box (application) full of fuses (sub apps))

track navigation variables like this: app.php?fuseaction=mainapp.subapp (this is what the switch structure looks at)

p.s. I have not read details on it for about 1 year (maybe more), and I read the docs for coldfusion. But as I say this is the basic idea.

And how do you handle the data from a form?

To show the form you include dspMyForm.php (action="actMyScript.php?action=xxxx' method="post") but to process that data should be a actMyScript.php??
