Simple MVC

Description

This repository is a simple PHP MVC structure from scratch.

It uses some cool vendors/libraries such as Twig and Grumphp. For this one, just a simple example where users can choose one of their databases and see tables in it.

Steps

1. Clone the repo from Github.
2. Run composer install.
3. Create config/db.php from config/db.php.dist file and add your DB parameters. Don't delete the .dist file, it must be kept.

define('APP_DB_HOST', 'your_db_host');
define('APP_DB_NAME', 'your_db_name');
define('APP_DB_USER', 'your_db_user_wich_is_not_root');
define('APP_DB_PWD', 'your_db_password');

4. Import db.sql in your SQL server,
5. Run the internal PHP webserver with php -S localhost:8000 -t public/. The option -t with public as parameter means your localhost will target the /public folder.
6. Go to localhost:8000 with your favorite browser.
7. From this starter kit, create your own web application.
8. There is something somewhere...try to find it !

Windows Users

If you develop on Windows, you should edit you git configuration to change your end of line rules with this command :

git config --global core.autocrlf true

Example

An example (a basic list of items) is provided (you can load the simple-mvc.sql file in a test database). The accessible URLs are :

• Home page at localhost:8000/
• Items list at localhost:8000/item/index
• Item details localhost:8000/item/index/show/:id
• Item edit localhost:8000/item/index/edit/:id
• Item add localhost:8000/item/index/add
• Item deletion localhost:8000/item/index/delete/:id

How does URL routing work ?
