Pop PHP Framework

The Pop PHP Framework a free and open source PHP Web framework that was created by Nick Sagona. It is distributed under the BSD License and hosted on GitHub. The framework is intended to be utilized for rapid application development, with an emphasis on web applications.

Development on the Pop PHP Framework was officially begun by Nick Sagona in late 2011, when he refactored a set of older library components into the first version of Pop PHP, which was released on March 19, 2012. The focus was for Pop PHP to become a more modern, MVC-style web framework with a set of supporting components to assist in building web applications.

After PHP 5.4 was released, Pop PHP 2 was refactored to take advantage of the new features available in PHP 5.4, as well as fully leveraging Composer by breaking out almost all of the components into separate repositories on GitHub. Pop PHP 2 was first released on July 12, 2015.

Pop PHP 3 was a slight refactor of the existing framework, while adding a handful of new components and deprecating a few older components. Version 3 supports PHP 7 and 5.6 and was released on July 9, 2016. The last version, 3.8.0, was released on August 25, 2018. The EOL version 3.8.9 was released on February 24, 2020.

Pop PHP 4 was a refactor of the existing framework that upgraded and improved existing components and focused on leveraging newly available features in PHP 7.4 and 8.0.

Pop PHP 5 was another major refactor of the framework, adding a number of new features and upgrades and focusing on the new features available in PHP 8.2+. The current version, 6.0.0, supports PHP 8.3+ and was released on November 3, 2025.

The framework has been included on a number of "best of" lists for new and up-and-coming PHP Frameworks.

The Pop PHP Framework is the framework on which the open source Phire CMS project was built.
