Build Setup

PHP version 7.1 or newer is recommended. Website uses SQLite3 database, therefore install/enable it in your php.ini settings and restart your server. Strongly recommended to use SQLite Studio to browse and edit SQLite database.

# Check if your machine is setup properly
composer run check

# Setup project
composer run setup

# Run website
composer run serve

When installing on a server just change following:

1. Navigate to the config.php and set $config['base_url'] to your own path.
2. Navigate to the email.php and add your own email messaging credentials.
3. Navigate to the constants.php and set global EMAIL_ADMIN where all emails would be sent to from contact form.
4. Navigate to the index.php and change global variable ENVIRONMENT from development to production.

Testing

Please note that you need PHPUnit installed on your machine. Running apt-get install phpunit will do the work for Linux-based operating systems. All unit tests are stored inside application/tests folder.

# Run all tests
composer run autotest

Running all tests will check following:

• Coding standard with PHP_CodeSniffer
• Unit tests with PHPUnit

Unit tests coverage report will be created in coverage folder.
