[edit] History
QPHP started as a small subproject to help build the back-end module of an existing website in the early days of 2005. Later it served as platform for creation of websites, web based content management systems and administration modules. At the end of 2007 it became publicly available as separate framework with well written documentation and plenty of examples.
