A companion repo for "How to A/B test new features in PHP using Feature Flags and Amplitude
This sample PHP app uses the Laravel framework and its default Blade templating engine on the frontend. It is a demo e-commerce website page showing a list of products. It is used to demonstrate how to conduct an A/B test experiment by comparing how well the variation state (Shown on the right) performs compared to the control state (Shown on the left). The aim of the test is to determine if showing the price of the product would increase the number of clicks on the View More button. See the screenshot below.
Clicking on the View More button under the product logs an event to Amplitude. These events are then recorded in an analysis chart for later comparison to the benchmark metrics collected for the control state.
