DolphinPHP is an open-source PHP rapid development framework based on ThinkPHP 5.1.42 LTS. DolphinPHP follows a minimalist, fast, and refined development concept, integrating a data-role based permission management mechanism and multiple flexible rapid-building tools, with modules, plugins, hooks, and data packages that can be conveniently and quickly extended.

## ZBuilder

The ZBuilder class helps developers handle complex and changing forms and data lists. Data lists integrate Excel-like quick filtering, sorting, fuzzy search, AJAX editing, and other functions. Form pages integrate common controls such as text fields, drop-down boxes, radio buttons, checkboxes, and editors. Developers can also flexibly extend their own controls for reuse in projects, so they can focus more on business logic.

## Modular combination

DolphinPHP adds a unique identifier, version number, and dependency relationships to each module, plugin, and data package, while keeping modules and plugins independent. This reduces code and data redundancy and helps ensure high cohesion and low coupling.

## Cross-platform support

DolphinPHP integrates excellent front-end open-source frameworks such as BootStrap, JQuery, Xeditable, and Select2. Based on ThinkPHP5 performance and REST support, remote debugging, and better API development support, it can help developers build interfaces compatible with PC, mobile devices, and WeChat, and quickly build Android and iOS apps through simple configuration.

## Built-in builders and mechanisms

- **Form builder:** DolphinPHP currently has more than 30 built-in form item types, such as single-line text, multi-line text, Baidu editor, markdown editor, radio buttons, checkboxes, switches, and more. Rich form pages can be created with only a few lines of code.

- **Table builder:** DolphinPHP provides a series of methods for building data tables, helping developers quickly build data tables with quick editing, fuzzy search, field sorting, field search, time-range search, and other functions.

- **Sidebar builder:** DolphinPHP provides a sidebar builder that works with the form builder or table builder to easily create sidebars, making it convenient to place common settings and tips on the right side to improve user experience.

- **Modularization:** DolphinPHP adopts a modular development model. Developed modules can be packaged through the export function and installed in any system developed with DolphinPHP.

- **Plugins:** DolphinPHP provides a complete plugin mechanism. Existing plugins include Ali Dayu SMS, Excel import/export, QR code, and barcode plugins.

- **Data packages:** DolphinPHP provides data package functionality to ensure data commonality and consistency between modules.
