Introduction

What is Enbici?

Enbici is a web framework written in PHP that acts as a thing glue layer between Doctrine and Smarty. Enbici is based in the Model-View-Controler (MVC) design pattern, using Doctrine as the model, Smarty as the view and Enbici takes care the controller.

Why not use the other PHP frameworks available?

The purpose of Enbici is to provide a small easy to setup environment were developers feel comfortable and don't have to learn all of the hidden functionalities of a framework or all the "magic" provided, and there are no huge configuration files that need to be included. Instead Enbici tries to make the developer as if he is in control of the application being developed and can use all of the provided functionality if he wants.

How does it work?

Enbici requires to have mod_rewrite enabled and a small .htaccess file that with the help of the Enbici router it can reroute requests to the appropriate controllers.

Minimum Requirements

Enbici has been tested in PHP 5.2.14 and over.
