Getting Started with Web Hive Framework

Welcome to the documentation for Web Hive Framework - a PHP-based Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework that is designed to help you build web applications quickly and easily.

Overview

Web Hive Framework is built around the MVC architecture and consists of the following core components:

  • Models: Models are used to represent the data and business logic of your application.
  • Views: Views are used to display the data to the user.
  • Controllers: Controllers are used to handle user input and interact with the models and views.

In addition to these core components, Web Hive Framework also includes a number of built-in features and tools that can help you build your application quickly and easily.

Before you start using Web Hive Framework, you will need to have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

  • PHP 7.0 or higher
  • A database server (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, etc.)
