MCV: Build single and multi-module applications with ease and pleasure. Using the file structure, scheme and patterns you already know. s i n g l e / app/ c o n t r o l l e r s / models / views / p u b l i c / c s s / img/ j s / m u l t i p l e / apps / frontend / c o n t r o l l e r s / models / views / Module . php backend / [ . . . ] views / Module . php p u b l i c / PHP Saigon (meetup) Phalcon September 7, 2015 4 / 14 

Dependency Injection: Phalcon is built upon a powerful yet ease to understand and use pattern called Dependency Injection. Initialize or define services once - and use them virtually anywhere throughout the application. $di = new Phalcon \ DIFactoryDefault () ; \\ Phalcon \DI () ; //Queue to d e l i v e r e−mails i n r e a l −time $di−>s e t ( ’ queue ’ , f u n c t i o n () use ( $di ) { $ c o n f i g = $di−>get ( ’ config ’ ) ; r e t u r n new Beanstalk ( [ ’ host ’ => $config −>beanstalk −> host ] ) ; } , t r u e ) ; //Use anywhere e l s e i n code $request = $di−>getShared (” queue ”) ; PHP Saigon (meetup) Phalcon September 7, 2015 5 / 14 

REST: Writing REST servers and applications has never been easier. No boilerplate. Simple services will fit in one file. $app = new Phalcon \Mvc\ Micro () ; // Returning data i n JSON $app−>get ( ’/ get / data . json ’ , f u n c t i o n () { echo json encode ( a r r a y (” some ” , ” important ” , ” data ”) ) ; }) ; // Say h e l l o with $name i n t h e i r name $app−>get ( ’/ h e l l o /{name } ’ , f u n c t i o n ( $name ) { echo ’ wellcome ’ . $name }) ; $app−>handle () ; PHP Saigon (meetup) Phalcon September 7, 2015 6 / 14 

Router: Phalcon provides a powerful router that maps route callbacks to specific HTTP request methods and URIs. It supports route segment parameters and pattern matching. use Phalcon \Mvc\ Router ; // Create the r o u t e r $ r o u t e r = new Router () ; // Define a route $router −>add ( ”/admin/ u s e r s /my−p r o f i l e ” , a r r a y ( ” c o n t r o l l e r ” => ” u s e r s ” , ” a c t i o n ” => ” p r o f i l e ” ) ) ; $router −>add ( ’/ get / i n f o /{ i d } ’ , a r r a y ( ’ c o n t r o l l e r ’ => ’ products ’ , ’ action ’ => ’ info ’ ) )−>beforeMatch ( a r r a y (new A j a x F i l t e r () , ’ check ’ ) ) ; PHP Saigon (meetup) Phalcon September 7, 2015 7 / 14 

Session: Phalcon provides a powerful session. It persists session data using industry standard encryption. Phalcon also enables flash messages across requests. use Phalcon \ S e s s i o n \ Adapter \ F i l e s as S e s s i o n ; // S t a r t the s e s s i o n the f i r s t time //when some component r e q u e s t the s e s s i o n s e r v i c e $di−>setShared ( ’ s e s s i o n ’ , f u n c t i o n () { $ s e s s i o n = new S e s s i o n () ; $session −>s t a r t () ; r e t u r n $ s e s s i o n ; }) ; PHP Saigon (meetup) Phalcon September 7, 2015 8 / 14 

Crytography: Phalcon provides encryption facilities via the Phalcon Crypt component. This class offers simple object-oriented wrappers to the mcrypt PHPs encryption library. use Phalcon \ Crypt ; $di−>s e t ( ’ crypt ’ , f u n c t i o n () { $crypt = new Crypt () ; // Set a g l o b a l e n c r y p t i o n key $crypt −>setKey ( ’%31.1 e $ i 8 6 e $ f !8 jz ’ ) ; r e t u r n $crypt ; } , t r u e ) ; It will encrypted cookies before be sent to the client and decrypted when retrieved. This protection allow unauthorized users to see the cookies contents in the client (browser). Despite this protection, sensitive data should not be stored in cookies.

Volt:Volt is an ultra-fast and designer friendly templating language written in C for PHP. It provides you a set of helpers to write views in an easy way use Phalcon \Mvc\View ; // R e g i s t e r i n g Volt as template engine $di−>s e t ( ’ view ’ , f u n c t i o n () { $view = new View () ; $view−>setViewsDir ( ’ . . / app/ views / ’) ; $view−>r e g i s t e r E n g i n e s ( a r r a y ( ”. v o l t ” => ’ Phalcon \Mvc\View\ Engine \ Volt ’ ) ) ; r e t u r n $view ; }) ; //Use

ORM and PHQL:Phalcon has its own ORM, Phalcon Query Language (PHQL), which can be used to make database interaction more expressive and clean. PHQL can be integrated with models to easily define and use relationships between your tables. use Phalcon \Mvc\Model\Query ; // I n s t a n t i a t e the Query $query = new Query (”SELECT ∗ FROM Robots ” , $this −>getDI () ) ; $cars = $query−>execute () ; //ORM Find record with i d = 3 $robot = Robots : : f i n d F i r s t (3) ; $robots = Robots : : query () −>where (” type = : type : ” ) −>andWhere (” year < 2000”) −>bind ( a r r a y (” type ” => ” mechanical ”) ) −>order (”name”) −>execute () ; PHP Saigon (meetup) Phalcon September 7, 2015 11 / 14 

With Phalcon, the whole framework is already in RAM, and as such, it is not necessary to process the entire set of framework files. This boosts performance by no small means PHP Saigon (meetup) Phalcon September 7, 2015 12 / 14
