LiteRoute PHP Starter Kit
**A lightweight PHP micro-framework starter you can deploy today — routing, templates, ORM-lite, GPL-3.0 sourced.**
LiteRoute PHP Starter Kit is a Brokie edition built on a ~90 KB PHP micro-framework core (F3/GPL) for developers who want dynamic apps without Laravel's footprint. This edition bundles fatfree-core 3.9.x, the official skeleton, sample routes (`/`, `/demo`, `/api/health`), a Brokie landing template, Apache/Nginx deployment guide, and GPL-3.0 license files with full attribution to bcosca/F3.
**What's included:** `package/` deployable app (`lib/`, `routes.php`, `ui/`, `config.ini`), `preview/index.html` overview, README, LICENSE, and `BROKIE_CHANGELOG.md`.
**Perfect for:** PHP developers, agencies shipping small web apps, API backends, and learners exploring MVC-style PHP.
**Not a visual theme** — requires PHP 8+ and a web server.
preview/index.html explains the framework. Run `cd package && php -S localhost:8080 index.php` then open /, /demo, and /api/health — requires PHP 8+.
- PHP 8+ hosting with Apache (mod_rewrite) or Nginx + PHP-FPM
- Upload package/ contents to your web server document root
- Configure URL rewriting so requests reach index.php
- Set DEBUG=0 in config.ini before production traffic
- Optional: composer install to track upstream fatfree-core releases
- PHP 8.0 or newer (8.3+ recommended)
- Web server — Apache, Nginx, or php -S for local dev
- PHP extensions: json, mbstring (pdo optional for databases)
- PHP development experience
- Managed hosting or server provisioning
- Visual drag-and-drop site builder
- Pre-built CMS or e-commerce store
- Database setup (ORM is included; you configure connection)
- PHP developers comfortable editing routes and templates
- Agencies delivering lightweight client sites and admin panels
- Teams wanting F3 without Composer/submodule setup friction
- Small business web apps and internal tools
- REST API backends with minimal framework overhead
- Prototyping PHP projects before scaling to larger frameworks
- Teaching routing, templating, and lightweight ORM patterns
- Full fatfree-core 3.9.x bundled in lib/ — no git submodule required
- Sample routes: welcome, /demo landing, /api/health JSON
- F3 template engine demo with Brokie-style landing page
- Apache .htaccess + Nginx deployment notes in README-BROKIE.txt
- Hive config, sessions, caching, and ORM-lite (SQL/Jig/Mongo) in core
- GPL-3.0 upstream license preserved — commercial use per GPL terms
- Requires PHP 8+ and Apache/Nginx or php built-in server
- Based on lightweight PHP micro-framework (GPL) by Christian Rossell (bcosca/F3)
