Flourish is The PHP Unframework, an object-oriented PHP library designed to reduce code and improve security.

// Connect to our SQLite database
fORMDatabase::attach(new fDatabase('sqlite', '/path/to/database'));
 
// Create an object to represent rows in the database
class User extends fActiveRecord {

            array('status=' => 'Active'),      // That are active
            array('date_registered' => 'desc') // Ordered by registration date

// Loop through and display the users' names

}

// Create an fUpload object to handle the file upload
$uploader = new fUpload();
 
// Require the user upload an image (with MIME type checking server-side)
$uploader->setMIMETypes(
    array('image/jpeg', 'image/gif', 'image/png'),
    'Please upload a .jpg, .png, or .gif image'
);
 
// Move the image and then resize to fit a 500x300 canvas
$image = $uploader->move('/path/to/images', 'image')
                  ->resize(500, 300)
                  ->saveChanges();
 
// Create a 32x32 thumbnail of the image
$thumb = $image->duplicate('/path/to/thumbs')
