Why you should use PHPinChains

1. The filter chain approach is extremely powerful and versatile. You can easily add pre- and post-processing to your application and reduce duplicate code. Additionally the chains give you the ability to integrate other php applications in your PHPinChains projects.
   
2. PHPinChains provides you with an implementation of the well-known Model2 Paradigm.
3. You can configure many things, but you are not forced to.
4. Additionally to the application controller you can also use a dispatcher view.
5. The PSP templating engine has many benefits, like:
   
   • Tag overwriting for ability of editing templates in a WYSIWYG editor.
   • Powerful standard tag lib with many useful tags for:
     control structures
     url construction
     internationalization
     validation
     tag construction
6. A complete, easy to extend and easy to use validation framework is integrated in PHPinChains action controller and PSP engine.
7. A component based extension is planed. The knowledge we gained by writing the prove-of-concept WebForm.framework (page in german) will be helpful.
