I'm in love...with Fusebox
I've been coding php for a few years now and have just recently discovered the Fusebox methodology. It was actually kind of forced on me for a recent project i've been working on, but now that I understand it, I'm a convert and plan on doing all of my future apps using it.
so i'm just wondering... does anyone else feel this way?Last edited by ses5909; Jun 21, 2005 at 11:22.

You can check out www.fusebox.org
this is kind of an old link but it helped me get started and explained it to me really well. http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Scrat...th-PHP-Fusebox
Id say the learning curve is about a day or two at most. for me it didn't make sense until i actually started playing with it.Sara

hum, just checked out the code; it seems to be a procedural (read, non-OOP) MVC framework. What is it about fusebox that you like?

From what ive learned Fusebox allows an OO approach although it doesn't mandate it. I've implemented a couple things using it so far.
For me the great thing about it is the way it is organized just makes sense. Its kind of hard to explain i guess. I've never been a huge fan of php as my background is in java and .net. but, using this methodology has changed the way i look at it. I'm sure there is a lot im missing here. But for waht its worth..i like it.Last edited by ses5909; Jun 21, 2005 at 19:27.

If I remember correctly, Fusebox has basically a FrontController approach with switch statements for various "circuits", i.e. Views.

if it aint OO, it aint right (in my books).
I dont think I'm gonna even consider it. Dont get me wrong, it's just a personal preference.

Fusebox was originaly coded for Cold Fusion, hence the more procedural approach.

Well, since we're on a bit of a tangent, many OOP principles can be applied without language specific support, eg: classes and inheritance. There is a good deal of c code to support this.

Fusebox was originally created for ColdFusion but I guess due to poular demand they wrote the framework in php. There isn't any additional cost that I'm aware of.

There are better ways of voicing your disagreement...see the post by Tanus above.

Last time I checked, English was not an official language in Holland.
Besides. computer programmers are the worst spellers and grammarians around. Funny about that, considering their scripts would die if they made such mistakes in them.

I checked out some fusebox examples and it's definitely modeled after MS's ASP, VB, etc. I went through my VB phase in the mid-1990's and luckily I came out of it sane. I personally don't like the syntax.
I study speed waiting. I can wait an entire hour in 10 minutes.
