Limb was initially designed as a PHP Content Management Framework around brilliant WACT template subsystem for rapid development of Content Management Systems with nice GUI but gradually became much more than that. There are 2 different versions of Limb being actively developed: Limb3 and Limb2.
Limb3 is a general PHP5 only Web Application Framework consisting of many packages distributed via Limb3 PEAR channel.
Here is the list of the most notable packages at the moment:
- core: the base package which provides lazy loading of PHP code
- classkit: advanced OO tools(automatic decorators genarators, transparent object proxies, etc)
- toolkit: dependency injection tools
- filter_chain: InterceptingFilter design pattern implementation
- wact: a forked and a bit patched version of brilliant template WACT subsystem
- web_app: FrontController and MVC patterns implementation.
- active_record: ActiveRecord pattern implementation(Rails alike flavour)
- dbal: Database Abstraction Layer which supports MySql, PostreSQL and Oracle at the moment.
- tests_runner: unit testing tools built around excellent SimpleTest library
- session: transparent PHP session wrappers with painless persistence of objects
Limb2 is a PHP4 compatible framework for building web sites with rich content which should be updated easily.
Limb PHP Framework 3.0.1 is a PHP script for Development Tools scripts design by Anatoly Obyedkov.
It runs on following operating system: Windows / Linux / Mac OS / BSD / Solaris.
