A New PHP Web Application Development Framework Based on MVC Architectural Pattern and Ajax Technology

Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) web application frameworks have become significantly popular in web development, by providing built-in libraries which could help developers to write codes without writing them from scratch. Because of their popularities, most developers are required to have solid knowledge on using the available frameworks. To create a dynamic and real-time web application, most of the developers use Ajax technology due to what it is capable of. However, most of the existing PHP frameworks do not have built-in Ajax libraries where users need to implement their own Ajax request. Therefore, in this paper, we develop a new PHP web application development framework based on the Model View Controller (MVC) architectural pattern and Ajax technology. The framework itself implements Ajax technology with its built-in library. After conducting this research, we concluded that the new PHP web application framework could be used as a web application development tool to help users to create a dynamic and real-time web application.
