Implementing Singleton method in design of MVC-based PHP framework

Abstract

Along with the development of technology, many web developers use the framework to simplify the development process. If using pure PHP, the process of development will takes a long time. Framework technology continues to evolve, from the full stack model, until the MVC (Model View Controller) model that is now popular. Each framework is implementing a design pattern that is different. While each design pattern if implemented, have advantages and disadvantages of each. Some existing framework has a complex pattern designs. Whereas the complexity of the design, not always comparable to the performance. Some of the files are included in a PHP script execution. To overcome this, we used a simple design pattern, namely Singleton and namespace or package in Java. This research resulted in a lightweight PHP framework, with a Singleton design pattern, namespace, AJAX, and multiple databases.
