Michael, I felt the same way. EpiCode was inspired by Picora which seems to no longer exist. I liked it for the same reasons you mentioned. The source was originally available at http://livepipe.net/.

Brilliant code. Seriously.

The workflow lock-in and unnecessary complexity of frameworks like code ignitor and cakePHP have kept me from diving in to those full on.

I’ve always just used my own MVC code, but yours is more intuitive and better written. I really appreciate the simplicity and effectiveness of it.

Thanks for sharing.

Let’s try CodeLighter – its a simplified CodeIgniter-like framework:

I have updated the documentation for EpiCode on GitHub. Have a look at it here: http://wiki.github.com/jmathai/epicode/epicode.

yes, I’ve been working for a time, use all the code that you want, but let me know what of my code you think is useful and what not. I’m working now in a new PK-framework, reestructuring the core and removing the compatibility with the PHP4, I’ve have been took one of your ideas (in the drivers, now i’m experimenting with the PDO instead of the native DB extensions).

If you need to share or discuss something I’m here.

@Norman, I took a quick look at your framework and it looks really interesting. I love the idea of a plugin system but haven’t had the time to consider how I’d go about adding one to EpiCode.

I will probably have a look through your code an borrow some ideas. Sounds like you’ve invested quite a bit of time in PK-Framework. Thanks for sharing.

for one year I’m developing my own framework, I’ve try cakephp, zend, codeigniter and they are pretty good, but all of them sometimes are so huge for my small site, for this reason I develop my own framework, its not so small, uncompressed has 420,5 Kb and 100 files, the core only have 277,9 Kb, I’ve made a plugin system, for add more modular and reusable code, so I can use the same code in various sites without modifi the base. And if you are a web developer, sometimes need to develop similar sites.

take a look at http://code.google.com/p/pk-framework/

Well, it’s interesting the way that you develop your framework, go in the right direction, but it be more cool if you find a way to do a lightweight plugin system. Take a look to my .htaccess, i’ll manage the friendly url so:

http://www.domain.com/foo/bar/infinite/vars

echo $_GET['url']; // they will be print…
// foo/bar/infinite/vars

in the $_GET['url'] are all the friendly url vars, then with a little pacience you develop a way to determine witch value go to $controller, $action, $id, $page_number, etc. Take a look at the cakePHP way (and read the manual) ;)
