Frames

Welcome to Frames

Frames is a web application framework and content management system written in PHP. The core of Frames contains a rich application programming interface and administration interface on which a PHP programmer can quickly and painlessly build a web application. The Frames framework is meant to be easy to learn and use but also very powerful.

The core API package includes

  • An SQL interface that abstracts to multiple database engines (eventually)
  • A templating engine with support for TinyButStrong and Smarty templates
  • An XML parser
  • Needs more features/better functionality programming side

In addition to the API, Frames is also a content management system out of the box. The admin interface includes such features as

  • A settings manager for Frames settings
  • A file manager for editing website files
  • An SQL browser that allows you to run quick queries on the application database
  • An extendible logging system
