This application was created to accompany my Intro to #memtech: PHP presentation.
The purpose of the application is to show the evolution of a contrived "first" application; from a nice try with some typical, horrific mistakes to a slightly more mature application that (hopefully) demonstrates some best practices.
Versions
This project contains five "stage" branches, each representing a stage in the evolution of the app. After cloning the project, you can checkout each stage to watch the application evolve:
-
stage0 - First try, with an attempt to represent some typical, first application mistakes
git checkout -b stage0 origin/stage0 -
stage1 - Moves duplicated code into a base file, adds error reporting
git checkout -b stage1 origin/stage1 -
stage1.5 - Corrects notices thrown after turning error reporting on
git checkout -b stage1.5 origin/stage1.5 -
stage2 - Filters input, escapes output, uses prepared statements
git checkout -b stage2 origin/stage2 -
stage3 - Adds a pseudo-service layer/DAO to abstract PDO calls
git checkout -b stage3 origin/stage3
Usage
To use the app, clone it, check out whichever branch you want, and do the following:
- Initialize the database via
php data/db/db-setup.php
If you have any permissions problems, run the following:
chmod 777 data/db/bookshelf.db
