#Flight MVC

This is my take on a simple extension to implement a more 'classic' MVC pattern that runs on top of the Flight micro-framework. Flight is a great, lightweight framework for PHP. I happen to find it a little easier to work in a more traditional MVC type of structure. This extension of Flight establishes that structure and also adds in a few features like:

• a PDO wrapper
• a Router to read the controller, command, and 2 parameters
• multiple environments and config files
• a debugger function
• a logger
• an HTML head section builder
• a input filter class (static methods)

##Installation Clone or download this repository and then run Composer's update feature to install dependencies (like Flight!). You can modify the composer.json files section on require-dev to get rid of or add development libraries like Phing, Codesniffer, phpUnit, etc.

All of the classes in this mod are unit tested with phpUnit, you will find the tests in the /tests directory

Documentation for Flight is at: [http://flightphp.com]

All extension documentation is in the Docs folder. You can also view the documentation using the doc controller (e.g. http://example.com/doc)

Fork this repository and send a pull request. Please stick to issues on the issue tracker or to-do's in the individual files as my intent is to keep this repo as lightweight as possible, and I do not intend to make it a full featured extension of the Flight framework. If you have an idea for a feature, submit it to the issue tracker and let's talk it out before you start coding. I have some ideas too, but some may end up as different extensions rather than features in this extension of Flight. Remember, it is a 'micro-framework' after all.

###Conventions This extension follows PSR-1, PSR-2, and PSR-4 conventions for autoloading, structure, and style. All contributions should follow these conventions. I recommend checking with Codesniffer to be sure.
