MINI is an extremely simple barebone PHP application skeleton, reduced to the max, that provides clean URLs, demo CRUD actions, and PDO-based database access without requiring users to learn a full framework. It is intended for small projects and quick prototypes rather than production-grade applications.

Use cases

• build a small PHP website with clean URLs
• quickly prototype a PHP app with database CRUD
• learn MVC structure in plain PHP without a framework
• show a few pages with simple database queries and AJAX
• set up a minimal PHP/MySQL app in Vagrant automatically

When to choose

• you need a tiny, easy-to-understand PHP skeleton for a small project or prototype
• you want to avoid learning a large professional framework
• you need simple CRUD and AJAX demos with PDO and MySQL

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade framework with security hardening, testing, and ecosystem support
• you require PSR-4 autoloading, namespaces, or modern architecture (use MINI3 instead)
• you need long-term maintained software - the project has no license and infrequent releases
