PHP MVC App

This is a lightweight PHP MVC framework built from scratch, designed to help you quickly build web applications following the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. The framework supports dynamic routing, database interaction with MySQL, and uses environment variables to manage sensitive configuration details.

Features

• Lightweight custom MVC structure
• Dynamic routing (supports GET and POST routes)
• Environment variable support via .env file
• Database interaction (MySQL)
• Simple session flashing for error and success messages
• Composer autoload for organizing classes and files

How to Run the Project

Follow these steps to set up and run the project locally:

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/xinodeprinz/php-mvc.git
cd php-mvc

2. Install Dependencies

Since we're using Composer for autoloading classes, you need to generate the autoloader and install node.js dependencies:

composer dump-autoload
npm install

3. Configure Environment Variables

Rename the .env.example file to .env, and then set up your database credentials and other configuration values.

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_NAME=your_database_name
DB_USER=your_database_user
DB_PASSWORD=your_database_password

4. Start the Application

Run the following command to start a local PHP and Tailwind CSS compilation servers:

npm start

Now, you can visit the app in your browser at http://localhost:2500.
