SwitchBoard Framework PHP

Original concepts were taken from a preexisting ColdFusion/PHP framework, Fusebox.

Its evolution through development has greatly changed its structure to have very little resemblance to Fusebox other than slight functionality of the switch, settings and template files.

Features:

• Switch Board gets away from the Object-oriented programming approach to MVC Frameworks.
• The current core file of Switch Board contains 66 lines of code.
• No configuration is required to add a page. Switch Board includes files in the /control/, /model/ and /view/ folder (in that order) if they exist with the same name as the routed file called. So, if /helloworld.htm was called, /control/helloworld.php, /model/helloworld.php, and /view/helloworld.php would be included if they exist.
• A global sb_settings.php file is used to define global variables like those used in the configuration of Switch Board.
• Any content generated is embedded into the sb_template.php file for display. If a circuit is called, its content it generated within its template, and then generated within the root's template.
• Switch Board is very fast to develop in because no additional configuration is required in the switch to add a page.
