This is the code that powers Codepoints.net. You can
find a short primer in the codepoints.net/index.php
file
on how the code flows.
Feel free to open issues at the bug tracker or contact us via Twitter: @CodepointsNet or Mastodon: @codepoints@typo.social.
See the re-use statement on codepoints.net for licensing and attribution information.
Get the latest database dump from
dumps.codepoints.net and feed it in a MySQL
database. Then create in this folder (next to this README.md) a file
db.conf with this content (replace values with your database credentials):
[clientreadonly]
password=mysql-password
user=mysql-user
database=mysql-database
Install the dependencies using Composer (click here to learn how to get Composer):
composer install
Presto! Your local copy of codepoints.net is ready! To get the site running, you can use PHP’s built in development server:
php -S localhost:8000 -t codepoints.net bin/devrouter.php
or, if you like, alternatively
make serve
In both cases, your local codepoints.net clone is reachable under localhost:8000.
To quickly experiment with some PHP code, run this command:
make shell
This starts a PHP command-line session with all required libraries autoloaded.
The variable $db contains an already active PDO instance pointing to your
database.
