README

Reference implementations of the Front-Interop interface for PHP 8.4+.

These implementations are intentionally naive — they exist to showcase the FrontController contract itself. Production front controllers would be obtained from an IoC container and would compose a request/response system, a router/dispatcher, a robust error handler, and so on.

Installation

composer require front-interop/impl

Usage

Three reference implementations cover three execution contexts.

ConsoleFrontController

A typical command-line console front controller, reading $argv and writing to injected $stdout/$stderr resources.

php bin/hello.php World

RequestFrontController

A typical HTTP front controller, reading $_GET and emitting HTML.

Run composer hello at the package root, then visit:

http://localhost:8080/index.php?name=World

FrankenFrontController

A specialized front controller for FrankenPHP, wrapping a RequestFrontController in a frankenphp_handle_request() worker loop bounded by an optional maximum request count (0 for unbounded).

Classes

All classes are in the FrontInterop\Impl namespace.

See the Front-Interop interface package for the full specification.
