I’ll tell you the story of how I built a framework from scratch. Most people seem to think that things are created or acquired overnight, without any real effort. In my youth — from childhood through my early adult years — I was really into video games and anime. I played everything from Asian-market Nintendo consoles and the N64 to games like *Counter-Strike* and *Tibia*. As I reached adulthood, I gave up gaming, realizing that a video game is essentially just a repetitive cycle of actions; I kept only my interest in anime. I actually had the talent to become a professional gamer, but — as we know — in Latin America, that’s a path that leads to zero income. When I was younger, I couldn’t find a university degree program that I actually liked; I tried business administration, automotive mechanics, and accounting courses, but in the end, none of them held my interest.

Adulthood

At age 25, I enrolled in a computer science program because I thought it might be somewhat similar to video games. During the second term, I was introduced to programming in one of my courses. Ultimately, I only completed six terms — partly due to the high cost of tuition — and, truth be told, programming was the only subject that actually interested me; I had no interest in PC hardware repair, QA, or any of the other areas.

Jobs

When I was a university student, I thought I had good skills, so I started applying for jobs in my home country — but I never got a call back. I eventually came to realize that the education industry is, by and large, a fraud. After a year of job hunting, I managed to land positions as a developer working with Java, WordPress, and CodeIgniter. I ended up getting fired due to a lack of skill — compounded by the fact that supervisors can be quite arrogant and fail to provide proper guidance as project leaders. I was also fired by a guy who had nothing to do with the tech field — simply because I wouldn’t kiss his feet — but that’s another story.

Covid 19 / 2020

After being laid off and finding no promising job openings in my country, I began studying twice as hard on my own, focusing on PHP and other technologies. Before COVID-19, I started exploring freelance platforms like Upwork, Workana, and Fiverr; while I was generally able to solve clients’ problems, there was a catch: most of them were either stingy or outright scammers. Later, I discovered Udemy, where I taught what I had learned over the years — by then, I had a solid grasp of PHP and various frameworks. However, I also realized the fraudulent nature of the education business: students often preferred courses created by streamers, YouTubers, or other figures who knew nothing about technology — people who simply jump from one technology to another just to make money by selling “hot air.”

Framework 2026

I also explored open source — which, in general, is another sham, as no one supports software because it’s actually good or solves a real problem. By this stage, I could replicate almost anything — from online stores and forums to educational platforms and GIS applications — simply by observing the front-end, without ever needing to look at the underlying PHP code or frameworks.

I began looking for a new challenge. After more than a decade of developing with PHP and various frameworks, I could confidently say that they are all essentially the same — so much so that I could build one myself; the only real differences come down to the funding and marketing behind them. In the process of building my own framework, I consistently discover new things — even when I previously thought I had reached my limit. Although software development doesn’t typically generate a high income for me, I’ve realized that I program simply because I enjoy it — whereas most others do it out of greed, despite being intellectually impoverished.

Any questions?

*) If I had finished university, would I have continued learning?

*) If I hadn’t been laid off, would I have grown stagnant in a company?

*) If I weren’t a content creator, would I have learned about marketing and business?

Some reasons to create content about the PHP framework Issues, generate extra income, or drive traffic to your content or website.

• ) This is a new keyword with zero competition; it has shown consistent growth over the last 4 days.
  *) You can rank in the top positions on Google due to the low level of competition.
  *) Advertisers will begin bidding on this keyword, which will result in good payouts when users click on ads or through impressions via platforms like Google AdSense or Adsterra.

Furthermore, writing content about a framework offers massive visibility across the globe, as the project is open-source and downloaded by many users.

Software development is a topic that falls under other categories, and they all have something in common: a product or brand, no matter how good it is, will not have visibility and no one will use it.

Popularity (Money) vs. Quality (Poverty)

Trends reflect an ignorant society where people only participate when the masses do. Have you ever seen someone donate to an unknown project? The answer is no, because they’re only looking for attention or to pay for advertising; they’re not interested in contributing to a cause.

Snowball

Have you ever seen a product appear overnight and people suddenly start using and recommending it? This is a real example of collective ignorance. Have you ever seen someone comment on or like an expert in a field with no followers but good content? But you’ve seen a streamer who’s just a character with a script, acting like they’re the best in the world, even though what they say is incoherent.

Tech Companies and Their Feed

If we take feeds as an example, the major platforms only seek to keep users engaged for as long as possible to generate revenue through their membership models and ad purchases, offering no benefit to users. Some examples include YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram, among others.

Another common aspect is the monopoly of AI and mobile telephony, which we’ll address in another article. If you find this content useful, you can make a donation, but we already know you won’t, for the reasons mentioned above.

In this instance, we present a comparison of two PHP frameworks: IssuesPHP and Laravel. This is not the typical Laravel-versus-CodeIgniter comparison we have seen repeated over the years — a common occurrence, given that these frameworks are rarely compared against the many other open-source alternatives that exist.

Views

Laravel uses Blade, a templating system that simplifies working with HTML; meanwhile, IssuesPHP uses embedded PHP code — the traditional approach favored by old-school developers.

// Laravel
@extends(‘layouts/app’)
@section(‘meta’)
<meta name=”description” content=””>
@endsection

// IssuesPHP
<?php
if (isset($argv[1])) {
parse_str($argv[1], $_GET);
}
?>
<meta name=”description” content=””>

Querys

Laravel uses an ORM called Eloquent and facade classes that simplify database queries; meanwhile, IssuesPHP features methods that communicate with multiple databases using PDO, simply by specifying the MySQL connection number.

// Laravel
$member = User::where(‘username’, $username)
->where(‘id’, $id)
->firstOrFail();

// IssuesPHP
$query = IpModel::chosenOrLost($this->table,$id,2);

Routes

Laravel employs a comprehensive routing system for both web and API, with its standout feature being the ease of creating multilingual routes; meanwhile, IssuesPHP features a routing system that supports multiple parameters. Both frameworks utilize static classes.

// Laravel
Route::get(‘/home’, [HomeController::class, ‘index’])->name(‘home’);

// IssuesPHP
function routeFactory($segment,$param1) {
Route::get(‘welcome’, ‘index’, ‘welcomes’,$segment,$param1);
}

MVC / MVCD

Laravel incorporates the MVC pattern with additional layers that make it a comprehensive option; meanwhile, IssuesPHP applies the MVCD concept, where displays are instances derived from controllers, in the classic PHP style.

namespace App\Http\Displays;
require DIR.’/../../../../bootstrap/app.php’;
use App\Http\Controllers\WelcomeController;
$welcome = new WelcomeController();
$welcome->index();

IssuesPHP Framework is a simple framework that helps solve common software development problems.

The php framework maintains a codebase consisting entirely of PHP — without external libraries — and features a command-line interface built using C.

*) Easy to learn

*) Similar to frameworks like Laravel or CodeIgniter 4

*) Uses Composer

*) PSR-4 class autoloading

*) Friendly URLs

*) Multiple database connections via PDO

Creating a project is simple with issuesphp

composer create-project issuesphp/issuesphp nameapp

Structure

Routes, Controllers, Displays, Views

It features a new addition: Displays, which separate controller instances.

Methods

A large number of methods that simplify working with databases.

IpModel::ChosenAll(‘tableName’);

SELECT * FROM TableName;

IpModel::chosenOne(‘tableName’,$id);

SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE id = id;

IpModel::chosenOrLost(‘tableName’,$id);

Returns a 404 view if the ID is not found.

IpModel::slipk(‘tableName’,$id);

DELETE FROM TableName WHERE id = id;

Deletes a record

Multiple database connections

To work with multiple databases, you simply need to configure and add an extra parameter specifying the connection number; if left blank, it uses the first connection by default.

class Database

{

// Default Connection

public const DB_HOST = ‘localhost’;

public const DB_USERNAME = ‘jonathan’;

public const DB_PASSWORD = ‘123’;

public const DB_DATABASE = ‘database1’;

public const DB_DRIVER = ‘mysql’;

public const DB_NUMBER = ‘’;

// Second Connection

public const DB_SECOND_HOST = ‘localhost’;

public const DB_SECOND_USERNAME = ‘jonathan’;

public const DB_SECOND_PASSWORD = ‘123’;

public const DB_SECOND_DATABASE = ‘database2’;

public const DB_SECOND_DRIVER = ‘mysql’;

public const DB_SECOND_NUMBER = ‘2’;

}

IpModel::ChosenAll(‘tableName’,$dbNumber);

SELECT * FROM TableName;

IpModel::chosenOne(‘tableName’,$id,$dbNumber);

SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE id = id;

The IssuesPHP Framework allows you to connect to up to 12 different databases using PDO; let’s look at some examples.

Multiple database connections

In the `Database.php` file, there is a default connection; if the `DB_NUMBER` constant is left empty or assigned the value 1, it connects to a default database.

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

define('DB_USERNAME', 'jonathan');

define('DB_PASSWORD', 'secret');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'test');

define('DB_DRIVER', 'mysql');

define('DB_NUMBER', '');

Connecting a second database:

define('DB_SECOND_HOST', 'localhost');

define('DB_SECOND_USERNAME', 'jonathan');

define('DB_SECOND_PASSWORD', 'secret');

define('DB_SECOND_DATABASE', 'hudemyx');

define('DB_SECOND_DRIVER', 'mysql');

define('DB_SECOND_NUMBER', '2');

This allows you to run queries across up to 12 different MySQL databases, get project
