This Wiki is for documentation, tips, usage hints and links for developing Fusebox 4 Framework/Methodology with PHP.

Fusebox is a powerful way to develop robust web applications rapidly, and with far fewer errors than you might have coding by hand. Unfortunately, there is not a ton of documentation online, and where there is documentation it is often for Fusebox3 or ColdFusion.

The PHP Fusebox 4 Wiki hopes to improve and increase the usage of Fusebox4 for PHP through better documentation contributed by its users.
