Joomla support

[balping]

Is it theoretically possible to integrate php-pm with joomla?

If they have proper abstraction. What kind of framework are they using and how are requests handled? No globals are allowed ($_GET, $_POST etc).

I'm not very familiar with their codebase, but they seem to have some abstractions, like routers, dispatchers and a JInput class, that is used to retrieve request parameters if I'm not mistaken:

https://docs.joomla.org/Retrieving_request_data_using_JInput
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/3.9-dev/libraries/vendor/joomla/input/src/Input.php

There's also this page that describes the life-cycle of a request (seems outdated though!).

But even if requests are handled in an abstract way in the core, nothing stops plugins from accessing global variables, but I think this latter is a marginal issue.

I'm also interested, can I help in any way?
