Framewerk uses one controlling PHP application which is responsible for autoloading all of the classes required to satisfy a request. To do this, all requests should be processed through the Base/index.php script.

• PHP 5.1 or greater
  • DOM Support
  • SimpleXML Support
  • XSLT Support

• Apache with mod_php
• Cherokee with PHP cgi
• Mac OSX installation

By default Framewerk ships with three index files: index.noCache.php (default), index.apc.php and index.fileCache.php. As the name implies each version provides different caching options. index.apc.php requires the Alternative PHP Cache and index.fileCache.php requires no special PHP modules. Using caching will dramatically speed up your Framewerk install as each page execution requires a special file map which maps Framewerk’s PHP modules to file paths for inclusion. By caching these, the amount of work performed on each page execution is greatly reduced.

The easiest way to select an index.php is to symlink from the original to index.php in the Base directory.

Example:

ln -sf index.apc.php index.php
