Kneipen- und Kulturinterface (PHP files)

Introduction

This PHP script uses an SQL-based RDBMS like MariaDB to manage bars, restaurants, fastfood places etc. across Tübingen. New items can be supplied by users and have to be activated by an admin or moderator before they are displayed. Items can be fully modified prior to activation or deleted.

Installation

Clone the entire repository and upload the contents to a PHP-enabled directory of your choice. Then, enter the credentials to MariaDB inside the file credentials.in in the following format:

[db]
mysql_user=<mysql-username>
mysql_server=<mysql-server>
mysql_db=<database-name>
mysql_pw=<mysql-password>
mysql_table=<table-name>

[pw]
backend=<password hash created using password_hash()>

To create the database schema, navigate your browser to the file _initdb.php.

All activated items are shown in a table in index.php. New entries can be created with create.php or by clicking the button "Neuen Eintrag anlagen".

Creation

The information for a location can be entered via a simple form. The user can supply the following information:

• name of the location
• address
• category (bar, fast food, restaurant, club/disco)
• price for a "Halbe"
• price for a large softdrink
• URL
• phone number
• a short description of the location

Additionally, the user can answer the following questions with (yes/no/don't know):

• Is there food on the menu?
• Is there a takeaway option?
• Is beer on the menu?
• Are cocktails on the menu?
• Is there a room for smokers?
• Is there a room for non-smokers?
• Is there free wifi?

These fields are shown as small icons and marked with either "✔", "×" or "?".

Administration

To review new entries supplied by users or to edit details of a specific location, navigate your browser to index_admin.php. Here you can view all entries as well as edit and delete specific entries. (The user has to be logged in to do that, store the password hash for the corresponding login password inside credentials.ini.

CSV Export

The information inside the database schema can be dumped into a CSV file to be used inside the FSI Anfiheft (or for other purposes). The export can be triggered by clicking "CSV-Export" inside admin.php, which dumps a CSV output into the browser. This is the same as calling dump.php or dump.php?type=echo. If the CSV file should be downloaded instead, call dump.php?type=file and your browser will download the CSV file instead.

Delimiter

The CSV delimiter is set to | per default. To use another delimiter, edit the file dump.php:

$db->dumpToCSV('|'); // change `|` to the delimiter you want to use
[…]
$db->dumpToCSV('|', $filename); // change `|` to the delimiter you want to use

WIP

This project explicitly is a work in progress. Issues that still need to be adressed:

• Encapsulate handling of POST parameters to avoid code duplications inside create.php and store.php
