PyritePHP

, _(*1)

PHP 5 and Bootstrap 3 framework to kick-start multilingual web application development, _(*2)

Simple event-driven framework for creating PHP 5 applications backed by a PDO database and with a Twitter Bootstrap user interface. Emphasis has been given on security:, _(*3)

SQL queries use placeholders, of course, and a whitelist for column names;
User passwords are saved in cryptographically secure hash form in the database;
Twig templating has escaping enabled globally by default;
Sessions are tied to the browser's IP address and fingerprint to reduce the risk of hijacking;
Form displays are tied to the current session to elimiate duplicate submissions and further reduce the risks associated with session hijacking and scripted attacks;
New users require e-mail confirmation to become active;
E-mail and password changes require password re-entry and trigger e-mail notifications;
Registration and password reset processes don't leak whether an e-mail is already signed up;
Covering 98% of users, forms are validated client-side to improve responsiveness.

Just use this repo as your starting point, modify this file and the contents of modules/ and templates/ to suit your needs. The rest of the developer documentation can be found in Developers., _(*4)

Why the name "Pyrite"?

This framework was actually built as the starting point for a commercial project named "PyriteView" as a bilingual play on the words "Peer Review". The framework was then forked on its own as it is highly generic. The name "PyritePHP" then made sense, considering its origin., _(*5)

Usage

Manually from scratch

$ composer require vphantom/pyritephp

Then in your main PHP file:, _(*6)

<?php

// Load dependencies provided by Composer
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

// Bootstrap Pyrite
Pyrite::bootstrap(__DIR__);

// Route request
Pyrite::run();

// Shut down
Pyrite::shutdown();

The above program will only load up and fire a single event if one is specified from the CLI. Our example application's installation is launched with, for example:, _(*7)

$ php ./index.php --trigger install

Automatically from our example application

You probably want to use our example basic application as a full-featured starting point instead, for example if you want to create foo/:, _(*8)

$ composer create-project vphantom/pyritephp-example foo

Requirements

PHP 5.5 or later
PHP extension modules: mbstring, mcrypt, pdo_sqlite, readline
SQLite 3
Typical Linux command line tools: make, wget, gzip
A web server of course

Web Server Configuration

In order to produce clean, technology-agnostic URLs such as http://www.yourdomain.com/articles/127, you need to tell your web server to internally redirect requests for non-existent files to /index.php, which will look in PATH_INFO for details. We also want to prevent access to private files., _(*9)

Here are sample configurations for major server software:, _(*10)

Apache

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^(bin|lib|modules|node_modules|templates|var|vendor) - [F,L,NC]

RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+) /index.php/$1 [L]

Nginx

location ~ /(bin|lib|modules|node_modules|templates|var|vendor) {
    deny all;
    return 404;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    # Usual FastCGI configuration
}

location / {
    index index.html index.htm index.php;
    try_files $uri $uri/ $uri/index.php /index.php;
}

Lighttpd

# TODO: Deny private directories
url.rewrite-if-not-file (
    "^(.*)$" => "/index.php/$1"
    "^/(.*)$" => "/index.php/$1"
)

Configuration

If you used our example application, edit config.ini to change any defaults as needed and run make init. This will automatically download and set up the latest version of PHP's Composer package manager in the current directory, then use it to download runtime dependencies locally. Finally, it will create the database tables and the administrative user so you can log into your new installation. You will be prompted on the command line for an e-mail address and password to use for that unrestricted account. (NOTE: This prompt requires PHP's readline, so it will not work on Windows.), _(*11)

You will also need to make sure that your web server or PHP process has read-write access to the var/ directory where the database and various other files are stored. This is not done by the Makefile because it requires root access and knowledge of which group your web server is a part of (often www-data, but not always):, _(*12)

mkdir var
chgrp www-data var
chmod 6770 var
cd var
mkdir sessions twig_cache
chmod 6770 sessions twig_cache

Crontab

Trigger daily and hourly events with the same user as your web server:, _(*13)

7   4   *   *   *   /usr/bin/php /web/your_site/index.php --trigger daily
11  *   *   *   *   /usr/bin/php /web/your_site/index.php --trigger hourly

Updating

While the example skeleton isn't upgradeable since it consisted of a simple starting point for your own application, everything else is one composer update away, conveniently available in make update if you used the example application., _(*14)

Acknowledgements

This application would not have been possible within a reasonable time frame without the help of the following:, _(*15)

Server-side

The PHP language
The SQLite database engine
The Sphido Events library to facilitate event-driven design
The Twig PHP templating library
The 100% PHP Gettext implementation

Client-side

Frameworks

jQuery 2 (I've had performance issues with version 3)
Twitter Bootstrap 3, including its gracious Glyphicon license

Utilities

ParsleyJS to validate forms client-side
Selectize to create rich, interactive form inputs
Timeago to display human-readable timestamp descriptions
