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 simple-mvc.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.

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 ?
