FuelPHP v1.x is a lightweight, flexible MVC/HMVC web framework for PHP, featuring ViewModels (Presenters), closure-based routing, modular packages, and built-in security features like output encoding and CSRF protection. It includes the 'oil' command-line tool for scaffolding and project creation, and is compatible with PHP 8.0.
Use cases
- build a PHP web application with MVC architecture
- create a modular PHP app with HMVC support
- scaffold a new PHP project quickly with oil
- route URLs directly to closures in PHP
- secure PHP views against XSS and CSRF
- extend framework core classes without modifying code
When to choose
- maintaining or extending an existing FuelPHP 1.x application
- you want a lightweight PHP framework with HMVC and presenters
- you need a framework compatible with legacy PHP codebases
When to avoid
- starting a brand-new PHP project where modern frameworks like Laravel or Symfony are better supported
- you need a framework with a large active ecosystem and frequent releases
- you require long-term guaranteed security support
