Zephyr: Ajax MVC Framework for PHP
<p>
Zephyr is a fairly new Ajax-based MVC framework for PHP. It builds on the Smarty template engine, DAL data access layer, CPAINT remoting framework, and Prototype Javascript library.
The project has just entered beta 2.0, and maintainer Hasin Hayder sent us a summary of the improvements.
1. Prototype is now a part of Zephyr
2. SQLite support
3. Multilevel Filters
4. Multiple pre action processors
5. Supports Multiple database concurrently (From same/different providers)
6. Overall performance tuning
7. Embeded script execution
8. Multibyte strings are supported
9. Package Initializers

是个好东西,先测试一下.
Special Thanks to Hasin. This is really beatiful and minimizes lot of headache of AJAX programming. I LOVE IT.
A great job.It’s so structured which can make easier working on Ajax for PHP coder.
Is this framework working without “smarty”? Because I do not have “smarty” install in my “easyPHP” and there is no guide for it.

Really it’s a new aspect for php programming.
so it enhances the php features.
so thanks to hasin vai.
Actually smarty is bundled with zephyr. So it does not need to setup smarty separately.
Nice job. I hope the next version will be more featured. Carry on.
I’ve been looking at Zephyr for an hour or so and can’t make head or tail of it, I may have to wait for more intelligent developers to pave the way for me. By contrast I got something up and running with Smarty in a short time yesterday. Zephyr seems to have too much set up, kind of like Ruby. By the time I finish setting up the packages and multiple tpl files I will have forgotten what I set out to do! Anyone know of tutorials or examples of Zephyr in action?
Hello Rupom
When you are in touch of frameworks, it will always require some time to get familiar with. Almost every framework require some sort of learning curve. So as zephyr. Zephyr’s core objective was how we can achive the facilities of an MVC framework with the flavour of AJAX. Thats it. Zephyr comes with step by step instruction to kick start and rich documentation.
You can easily develop a complete site in a single file – or with slight separation of presentation layer as you told, but that lacks one core purpose of MVC, which is called maintainability.
You may check some other AJAX MVC framework like CodeIgniter, Symphony or CakePHP for RnD.

Oh Sorry, The last comment was posted for Dale. Sorry again.
i love this framework… i always thought ajax will either break up PHP files into functions and will scatter it all over the place, tiny scriptlets… or will force me to build a huge file with all the functions in it…. but this one has a structured naming and directory structure. makes it easy to manage code… no need to scatter it all over the place… a smart kid of PHP & AJAX ..!! ;) well done hasin.!

DAL is not the name of the data access layer. The post reads as if DAL is a product name and not just an abbreviation. Zephyr uses ADODB for the data access layer (DAL).
