placepuppy is a placeholder image generator written in PHP.
placepuppy is a hobby project, born as a gift for a friend (and what's better than some puppy-cuteness?) and continued as a mean to explore PHP, CSS, HTML and other web technologies.
Some features:
- some basic responsive layout
- clean URIs
- event logging
In it you will probably not find the best solution to your problems, you also may find some choices objectionable (e.g. why have you used a database for this?); but I hope you can use it as a mean to learn and have the same fun I had while writing it.
== DETAILS == All the work is done by the following files:
- code.php
- error.php Take also a moment to look at '.htaccess' file.
Please note that you need:
- a configuration file named 'config.ini' is needed to read the credentials for your database. This file should not be publicly available, for instance it should stay outside of your web root. 'code.php' assumes it is in its parent directory.
- 'log4php' logging library, you can get it at: http://logging.apache.org/log4php/ please note that the code assumes the source for 'Logger.php' is in a directory named 'log4php' in the parent directory of 'code.php' See http://logging.apache.org/log4php/install.html for more detailed installation information
- a logger configuration file named 'logger-config.xml' placed in the parent directory of 'code.php'
- to import the database dump in 'placepuppy-db.sql' in a MySQL database (since the database is very simple you can probably use another DBMS with only minor modifications)
== AUTHORS == The code has been written by Cristian Consonni. This site Would not have been possible without the help and advice of Chiara "Melian" in choosing the photos.
The code in 'code.php' and '.htaccess' is derived from "Dynamic Dummy Image" by Russell Heimlich.
