Usage

This is a basic usage redirecting a user to a route upon landing on the index and displaying him a nice 'safe' hello screen.

require_once 'Whisper/Kernel.php';

use WhisperKernel, WhisperRequest;

/* create a default kernel */
$app = new Kernel();

/* register a route for index */
$app->route('/', function(Kernel $app) {
    return $app->redirect('/hello');
});

/* register a route hello */
$hello_routes = array('/hello', '/hello/:name');
$app->route($hello_routes, function(Kernel $app, Request $req) {
    /* try to retrieve variable 'name' from route */
    $name = $req->resolve('name', FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);
    if ($name == null) {
        $name = 'world';
    }
    return 'Hello ' . $name . '!';
});

/* dispatch call */
$app->dispatch();

Status

Current version is very alpha and doesn't support half of the final framework, here are the current features:

• Serve basic and more dynamic routes supporting variables
• Provide a safe wrappers around every user variables ($_GET, $_POST, etc... ) from a query
• Redirection helpers
• Support for Twig
• Configuration system based on YAML

The features to be implemented:

• Middlewares: Encapsulation around controllers to add loosely coupled functionnality very easily
• Events: An easy to use event system using
