What is DALT.PHP?
A transparent PHP framework for learning how web applications work.
DALT.PHP is a framework for learning backend development by working with the parts of an application that are often hidden: routes, requests, responses, sessions, database queries, validation, and authentication.
It gives a project useful structure while keeping the framework readable. You can inspect the code that handles a request, follow the database layer, and make deliberate choices about the application you build.
What it is for
Use DALT.PHP to learn the foundations behind web frameworks by building and debugging a real PHP application. The framework reference documents the supported public API; the installed learning platform offers guided practice when you want it.
What it is not
DALT.PHP is an educational framework, not a production-hardened runtime. Its local development server is for development only. For deployment boundaries and security considerations, see Deployment and security.
Your next step
Install DALT.PHP, then open Learn locally to see how the optional, version-matched learning experience works.
