FUSE - a PHP Model/View/Controller framework. (PHP on Rails?)

jim_keller

Having been inspired by the move toward Model/View/Controller architecture, especially by frameworks like Ruby on Rails, I started migrating my existing PHP framework (which has been developed for several years) to a fully MVC structure. A year later, the framework is in use on several large, high traffic sites, has a growing user base and a growing developer base. However, we could certainly use a larger community, so I'm asking everyone to give it a shot. FUSE is stable, powerful, and easy, and already includes a variety of useful modules that I find can cut development time by around 80%.

Whats better with fuse than for example the Zend framework.

Framework choice often comes down to preference. I like to think that FUSE provides an easy way for PHP developers to make the transition to MVC, and that the support modules make the more common development tasks (handling images, authenticating users, etc) a simple exercise rather than a frustrating endeavor.

With PHP it does anyway.

I was just wondering if it had something that made it stand out in the crowd and make it worthwhile me checking out.

You should try it and see. I would expect it to take you about 5 minutes from reading this thread to having a hello world application going - it's extremely simple to install.

I'd rather have feature filled (or something special) and it took me a few days to learn. I'll give it a pass personally, but i'm sure its great for some people.
