Hey guys , i always love tiny libraries or frameworks , because you can always hack at the code and learn so much , i found a very tiny CMS(file based , no database) , HERE https://github.com/PhileCMS/Phile.
I just wanted a honest opinion , can some fundamental oops concepts really be learnt hacking through a source of a CMS like this ?
Hackable CMS .. good for learning PHP ?

Re: Hackable CMS .. good for learning PHP ?
Took a quick peek through the code base and it's not bad. Some not so great ideas in there -- custom autoloader, lots of reinventing the wheel, static methods, singletons -- but also some really high quality code.
Re: Hackable CMS .. good for learning PHP ?
Thanks alot celauran , yes the code infact is a fork of a project that was not under active development and it seems to have a very active community. can you elaborate on what do you mean on alot of re-inventing the wheel(i'am just curious) ?

Things like writing their own router, request and response objects, session handlers, etc rather than using or extending existing solutions.
