DotKernel components

• 

  Mobile Detection

  DotKernel has built-in support for the WURFL library which provides an easy way to detect the capabilities and features of mobile devices. Combined with the Zend_Cache backend storage it can be a very powerful solution for building and quickly delivering content to the user.

  Template Engine

• 

  Email system
  with multiple smtp

  Using the Zend_Mail component we built a powerful system which allows you to send emails using multiple SMTP accounts, along with the default email server deamon.

• 

  Seo and routes

  A custom implementation of the HMVC pattern that is easy to learn by beginner and intermediate level programmers. It uses Zend Framework conventions, but reduces the complexity of Zend_Route by having some default routes already built-in: frontend, admin, rss and mobile.

• PHP Application Framework

  DotKernel is an application framework; by default it has incorporated frontend, backend, rss and ajax modules, with each module structured on a MVC (model-view-controller) pattern.

  The frontend has static pages and user dots (login, signup, update, forgot password) and backend-admin area has only user dots.

  As their name suggest, RSS handles RSS feeds and the AJAX module handles all AJAX requests that don't pass through the frontend module.

• Our approach

  DotKernel is not a standalone framework it uses Zend Framework as a component library, accessing directly its classes. It has eliminated the complexity of ZF by using a different approach of how the web requests are handled.

  DotKernel is using a full, yet simplified HMVC (Hierarchical Model-View-Controller) architecture, easy to learn by beginner and intermediate level programmers.

  Strongly integrated with Zend Framework, DotKernel can be considered a PHP Enterprise Level Framework.
