PhpEZ – A tiny PHP framework for shared LAMP hosting

I needed to make a tiny webapp backend to upload to shared LAMP hosting (they still exist, and I think they're fun despite us being well beyond 2005), but I couldn't face waiting for FTP to sync down however thousands files Laravel or similar frameworks need. So I made a tiny PHP framework that gets packaged into a single file. I'm using it for my own shady purposes, but I decided to put it on GitHub in case anyone else finds the approach useful. It has typed request/response handling, filesystem-based routing, object serialization, database models/schema generation, and a little…

In plain words

PhpEZ is a minimal PHP framework designed for shared LAMP hosting environments. It packages entirely into a single file to avoid lengthy FTP uploads, eliminating the need to deploy thousands of framework files. The framework includes typed request and response handling, filesystem-based routing, object serialization, and database models with schema generation capabilities. It has no external dependencies and includes a schema alignment tool. PhpEZ is intended for developers who want a lightweight backend solution for small web applications on traditional shared hosting.

In the maker’s words, at launch

I needed to make a tiny webapp backend to upload to shared LAMP hosting (they still exist, and I think they're fun despite us being well beyond 2005), but I couldn't face waiting for FTP to sync down however thousands files Laravel or similar frameworks need.

It has typed request/response handling, filesystem-based routing, object serialization, database models/schema generation, and a little schema alignment tool. It has no Composer dependencies. It's very much a tiny thing, but if anyone wants to try it and tell me where it breaks, I'd appreciate it :)

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
