PHP Boilerplate

Boilerplate to quickly knock out small PHP based projects. Supports Bootstrap V4, LESS support and Font Awesome icons.

Usage

Running locally

To see the above site locally clone and cd to the repo and run:

php -S localhost:8000

The site should now be available in your browser when visiting this URL: http://localhost:8000/

Create new pages

To create a new page create a new folder in the root directory and name it like the URL is supposed to be (e.g. for example.com/about name it about).

Create a new index.php within that directory:

<?php
require_once(realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . "/../resources/config.php"));
require_once(LIBRARY_PATH . "/templateFunctions.php");

$currentPage = {pagename};
?>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <?php renderHead(
        {title},
        {description}
    ); ?>
    <body>
        <?php require_once(TEMPLATES_PATH . '/header.php'); ?>
        <?php require_once(TEMPLATES_PATH . '/navigation.php'); ?>

        <div class="container">
            ...
        </div>

        <?php require_once(TEMPLATES_PATH . '/footer.php'); ?>
    </body>
</html>

Replace {pagename}, {title} and {description} with actual content.
Open resources/data/pages.php and add the new page to the $page array.

LESS

Don't edit CSS directly in the assets directory if you want to use LESS. Instead, edit the resource/main.less file, it will automatically be compiled to a main.css in the assets folder. This CSS file should be used in production.

Google Analytics

You can add your GA Tracking ID in the config.php and add the following template to each side you want to track: <?php require_once(TEMPLATES_PATH . '/analyticsTracking.php'); ?>
