PHP is a very popular programming language that is widely used in web development. Currently, the mainstream website development frameworks include PHPcms and ThinkPHP. In many cases, we need to transfer existing PHPcms applications to the ThinkPHP framework. This article provides a detailed introduction on how to transfer PHPcms applications to ThinkPHP.

1. Introduction to PHPcms

PHPcms is a popular CMS (Content Management System, content management system). It is a completely open source content management system, suitable for website developers, enterprises, Schools and individuals have different needs. PHPcms adopts MVC architecture, has good scalability and performance, and supports multi-language, multi-site, multi-user and other features.

2. Introduction to ThinkPHP

ThinkPHP is a PHP development framework with rich class libraries and excellent performance. It adopts MVC architecture and has good scalability, modularity and performance. ThinkPHP provides a very convenient ORM (Object Relational Mapping) function, supports a variety of database operations, has a good caching mechanism, and also supports multi-language, multi-site and other features.

3. Transfer process

1. Database migration

Export the PHPcms database table as a SQL file, use the command line or phpmyadmin and other tools to convert the SQL file Import into the MySQL database used by ThinkPHP.

2. Code Translation

Translate the PHPcms code according to ThinkPHP specifications. It should be noted that PHPcms adopts the traditional PHP framework form, while ThinkPHP adopts the object-oriented development model. Therefore, it is necessary to make certain modifications to the PHPcms code and reconstruct and optimize it based on the design pattern of ThinkPHP.

3. URL Routing

ThinkPHP adopts RESTful Design, and the original URL of PHPcms needs to be modified to make it comply with ThinkPHP routing rules. You can modify the route.php file of ThinkPHP or modify the URL of the website through the .htaccess file.

4. Template rewriting

ThinkPHP uses a business-based view layer design, which is different from PHPcms, which uses a page-based view layer design. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the page template of PHPcms and rewrite the view layer of ThinkPHP to ensure that it can be used normally under ThinkPHP.

4. Notes

1. Function transfer
   It is necessary to ensure that all functions of PHPcms can run normally under ThinkPHP. If some functions are incompatible, you need to redesign or find corresponding plug-ins.
2. Directory structure
   The directory structures of PHPcms and ThinkPHP are different. The directory structure of PHPcms needs to be adjusted to the standard directory structure of ThinkPHP to ensure that the files can be loaded according to the specifications.
3. Code style
   The code styles of PHPcms and ThinkPHP are different. It is necessary to ensure that the code style is consistent, so that subsequent development and maintenance can be more convenient.
4. Debugging tools
   ThinkPHP provides very convenient debugging tools (for example: Xdebug), which can help us locate problems in the program faster. Therefore, it is recommended to use Debug tools to debug and troubleshoot the code during the development process.

5. Summary

PHPcms and ThinkPHP are both very excellent PHP development frameworks. However, although both use MVC architecture, there are still big differences in implementation. Transferring PHPcms applications to ThinkPHP requires certain skills and experience. This article gives a brief introduction on how to transfer PHPcms applications to ThinkPHP. I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
