The '''Pop PHP Framework''' a [[Free software|free]] and [[Open-source software|open source]] [[PHP]] [[Web framework]] that was created by Nick Sagona. It is distributed under the [[BSD License]] and hosted on [[GitHub]]. The framework is intended to be utilized for rapid application development, with an emphasis on web applications.

== History ==

Development on the Pop PHP Framework was officially begun by Nick Sagona in late 2011, when he refactored a set of older library components into the first version of Pop PHP, which was released on March 19, 2012. The focus was for Pop PHP to become a more modern, MVC-style web framework with a set of supporting components to assist in building web applications.

After PHP 5.4 was released, Pop PHP 2 was refactored to take advantage of the new features available in PHP 5.4, as well as fully leveraging [[Composer (software)|Composer]] by breaking out almost all of the components into separate repositories on GitHub. Pop PHP 2 was first released on July 12, 2015.

Pop PHP 3 was a slight refactor of the existing framework, while adding a handful of new components and deprecating a few older components. Version 3 supports PHP 7 and 5.6 and was released on July 9, 2016. The last version, 3.8.0, was released on August 25, 2018.

Pop PHP 4 was another refactor of the existing framework that upgraded and improved existing components. Version 4 supports PHP 7.1 or greater and PHP 5.6 is no longer supported. The current version, 4.0.2, was released on March 12, 2019.

The framework has been included on a number of "best of" lists for new and up-and-coming PHP Frameworks.<ref>{{

== Development ==

While the initial development of the Pop PHP Framework was focused on building web applications, since version 3, Pop PHP fully supports console-based applications to be used on the [[Command-line interface|CLI]] as well. Pop PHP incorporates current standards, trends and patterns in software development in an attempt to build an ecosystem that is familiar to developers. The framework is heavily unit-tested using [[PHPUnit]] and runs through the [[Travis CI]] continuous integration platform to ensure the builds of the individual framework components are passing.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://travis-ci.org/popphp |title=Travis CI: Pop PHP Framework|website=travis-ci.org/}}</ref>

Pop PHP 4 is currently written for and supports PHP 7.1 or greater and no longer supports PHP 5.6.

The Pop PHP Framework project welcomes community involvement and contribution via the current available channels.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.popphp.org/development |title=Pop PHP Development|website=popphp.org}}</ref>

== Features ==

The base foundation of Pop PHP is the initial set of core components that make up the application stack:

* '''The Application Object'''
* '''The Router'''
* '''The Service Locator'''

=== Popcorn ===

Popcorn is a standalone web-based component that serves as a REST-based micro-framework layer to allow developers to quickly build REST-based web applications and APIs. With it, a developer can enforce routes by request methods and direct HTTP requests accordingly.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.popphp.org/#popcorn|title=Popcorn|website=popphp.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.popphp.org/overview#popcorn|title=Popcorn Overview|website=popphp.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://github.com/popphp/popcorn|title=Popcorn on GitHub|website=github.com}}</ref>

=== Kettle ===

Kettle is a CLI-based helper script available since version 4.0.1. It allows the user quickly scaffold application files and folders together as well as manage databases and migrations.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://github.com/popphp/pop-kettle|title=Kettle on GitHub|website=github.com}}</ref>
