An extremely simple and easy to understand MVC skeleton application, reduced to the max.

• Anonymous user is allowed to enter data using the form field
• User data is shown in preview page before inserting into database
• Upon confirmation from preview page data is inserted into database
• unique token is generated for every form submit to prevent CSRF attack
• PDO is used to prevent sql injection

• application or database errors are captured into public/logs/logs.txt file

1. Run the SQL statements in the application/_install folder.

2. Change the .htaccess file from

RewriteBase /mvc/

to where you put this project, relative to the web root folder (usually /var/www). So when you put this project into the web root, like directly in /var/www, then the line should look like or can be commented out:

RewriteBase /

If you have put the project into a sub-folder, then put the name of the sub-folder here:

RewriteBase /sub-folder/

4. Edit the application/config/config.php, change this line

define('URL', 'http://localhost/mvc/');

to where your project is. Real domain, IP or 127.0.0.1 when developing locally. Make sure you put the sub-folder in here (when installing in a sub-folder) too, also don't forget the trailing slash !

5. Edit the application/config/config.php, change these lines

define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'php-assignment');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASS', '');

to your database credentials. If you don't have an empty database, create one. Only change the type mysql if you know what you are doing.
