The PHP Hoffman Framework (HMF) provides reusable design templates, APIs, libraries and scripts to help software developers build applications quickly and efficiently. It aims to increase productivity, ensure code quality and structure, facilitate team collaboration, and reduce maintenance costs through principles like DRY. Originally announced in 2007, HMF takes inspiration from frameworks like Ruby on Rails in using patterns like MVC and mod_rewrite-based routing.
