PHPFoundry

A zero-dependency, pure-PHP admin panel foundation. No Composer, no Node, no framework — just PHP that you self-host and that keeps working through server upgrades.

PHPFoundry gives you a solid, production-ready core — authentication, roles and permissions, settings, audit logging, notifications, security tooling, a migration system, and a clean update mechanism — so you can build your own admin panel or internal tool on top of it without fighting a toolchain.

Philosophy

Stability over churn. No build step, no dependency tree to rot. The code you install is the code that runs, and it survives PHP version bumps and kernel updates.

Self-hosted and yours. You own the code. It runs on any host with PHP 8.3+ and MySQL.

Extensible by design. A strong, conventional core plus an addon system means you — and your AI coding assistants — can extend it without breaking the foundation.
