When I first started this experiment I planned on using a custom php framework. Recently I realized that its kinda pointless to attempt to do something like this and at the same time lock myself into something that may not be the best solution….

This is part 2 of the Building Something Scalable series / experiment: Security.

So after years of partial frameworks, and various concepts, I’ve finally started my framework.
First off there is NO windows support. I’m sure that’s not the best way to go, but I can’t think of one reason to host a php app on windows. As noted windows isn’t supported, but I’m working on a linux […]

just a quick tip for anyone using .inc files via apache.
