Why Phile

Origins

This project started as a fork of PicoCMS in 2013.

The desire to fork the project from Pico, came when a few community members wanted to contribute more and increase the rate of development progress.

Modern Architecture

Phile is a modern, compact, extensible CMS that improved in several areas:

  • Object Oriented Design (classes)
  • Events system
  • Uses Composer
  • Replaceable core modules (plugins)
    • Parser (default: Markdown)
    • Template Engine (default: Twig)
    • Cache (default: phpFastCache)
    • Error handler (default: Whoops)
    • Meta parser (default: Phile parser)
    • Simple Data Persistence (default: Phile file-based)
  • Per-Plugin config.php files
  • Namespaced plugins so classes can have the same name
  • PSR–0,PSR–1/2, PSR–7/15
