Sample website in PHP

Because I do a lot of side projects all the time, I created this repo in order to be able to quickly run a php website from anywhere I want with the least amount of software installed.

Feel free to use it :)

Basic prerequisites

• PHP needed (duh)
• SQLite3 extension activated

What's included

• Slim V4 PHP Framework
• Twig engine with all the templates located in the src/templates folder
• Bootstrap V5 (CSS + JS)
• Signin / signup / forgotten password
• .env configuration (https://github.com/symfony/dotenv) (there is a .default.env file that is automatically copied to make you a .env file when you run the app once)
• Email utilities (if app_mode=prod in the .env file, otherwise the emails are displayed on screen)
• JWT encode / decode functions
• MariaDB if .env is configured accordingly

Getting started

php composer-update.php

(This project is managed with Composer, this script will download a local version of composer.phar, install all the dependencies required, and delete the composer file right after it)

Once you have installed everything, you can run the project with :

./start.cmd

Troubleshooting

"Failed to listen on localhost:80"

On Windows, you can type netstat -anb | findstr :80 in your command prompt to see the programm using your 80 port, and then tskill [name of the bothering program] in order to kill the program bothering you.

On Linux, you can type sudo netstat -nlp | grep :80, then look for the last number you find at the end of the line and type kill -9 [number you just found]

If that's too complex for you, you can simply type php -S localhost:[another number than 80, like 8080 or 8888] -t . instead of php -S localhost:80
