A collection of example MVC file structures for building web applications with the Phalcon PHP framework.
Phalcon MVC Examples is a collection of reference implementations demonstrating various architectural patterns and configurations for the Phalcon PHP framework. It provides practical templates and file structures to help developers understand and effectively implement the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern in their own projects. The examples cover a range of setups from simple applications to complex multi-module architectures.
PHP developers using the Phalcon framework who need concrete, working examples of MVC application structures, dependency injection configurations, and modular designs. It is particularly useful for those starting a new Phalcon project or refactoring an existing one to follow established patterns.
Developers choose this project because it offers a comprehensive set of proven, ready-to-use templates that demonstrate Phalcon's flexibility and best practices, reducing the learning curve and helping avoid common architectural pitfalls. Unlike generic documentation, it provides specific, runnable examples for different use cases, from simple setups to advanced patterns like service layers and shared resources.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Offers multiple MVC layouts from simple to complex, including multi-module and micro-framework examples, as shown in directories like 'multiple' and 'micro'.
Demonstrates different dependency injection approaches, such as using Di\FactoryDefault in 'single-factory-default' and custom service providers in 'single-service-provider'.
Includes specific examples for both PHP templates and Volt templating engine, like 'simple-volt' and 'multiple-volt', aiding in engine selection and setup.
Shows namespaced and non-namespaced structures, such as 'single-namespaces', helping developers implement proper PHP namespace usage in Phalcon.
Only provides examples, not the Phalcon framework itself, which must be installed separately—often involving C extension setup, not covered here.
Targets Phalcon >= 3.0.x, which may not align with newer versions that could have breaking changes, risking compatibility issues without updates.
README focuses on directory listings without detailed explanations of code logic or best practices, forcing reliance on external Phalcon Docs for deeper understanding.
The sheer number of example structures, like 15+ variants, can cause decision paralysis without clear recommendations on which to use for specific scenarios.
