MintyPHP

MintyPHP aims to be a full-stack PHP 7 (or 8) framework that is:

• Easy to learn
• Secure by design
• Light-weight

By design, it does:

• … have one variable scope for all layers.
• … require you to write SQL queries (no ORM).

Quickstart (Docker)

1. Copy .env.example to .env (defaults are fine for local dev).

2. Build and start the stack:

   docker compose up --build
   

3. Open the app at http://localhost:8080.

4. Register a user, then visit /admin (protected route).

5. phpMyAdmin is available at http://localhost:8081.

Notes

• MintyPHP uses Memcached for its firewall cache; the compose stack includes a memcached service and the PHP container has the extension enabled.
• config/config.php is generated and gitignored by default; adjust .gitignore if you want to commit it.
