<h1>TODO List</h1>
<h2>NetBeans PHP Sample Application</h2>
<h3>What is TODO List?</h3>
<p class="p">TODO List is a personal list of things that are to be done.
This PHP application is created to highlight PHP features supported by NetBeans IDE.
</p>
<p class="p">
<b>This sample is not intented to be used on a production server without any changes.</b>
</p>
<h3>This sample demonstrates the following features:</h3>
<ul class="p">
<li>OOP concepts</li>
<li>preventing public access to your scripts</li>
<li>configuration your application</li>
<li>accessing your database data</li>
<li>changing your database data (with redirect-after-post pattern)</li>
<li>validating your data</li>
<li>splitting scripts and templates</li>
<li>handling expected and unexpected exceptions</li>
</ul>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
Follow these before you run the sample:
<ul class="p">
<li>Install NetBeans IDE with PHP support</li>
<li>Install and configure PHP Runtime</li>
<li>Install and configure MySQL database</li>
</ul>
<h3>What is included?</h3>
<ul class="p">
<li>NetBeans <i>PHP Application</i> Project</li>
<li>Database SQL Script - Use this script to populate tables and sample records</li>
<li>Additional Stylesheet, JavaScript</li>
</ul>
<h3>Before the start</h3>
<ul class="p">
<li>If you want to try the sample out, follow <a href="#getting_started">Getting Started</a> guidelines.</li>
<li>In case of you want to try debugging features of the NetBeans IDE,
follow the <a href="#debugging">Debugging</a> guidelines.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="getting_started">Getting Started</h3>
<ol class="p">
<li>
Firstly, we set database authentication in <i>config/config.ini</i>,
which is stored in TODO List Project directory.<br>
Just update login and password
fields in the configuration file, so they are the same as MySQL ones.
</li>
<li>
Secondly, we create the database and populate it with data:
<ol type="a">
<li>Create new MySQL database named <i>todolist</i> in phpMyAdmin (or any other MySQL administration tool).</li>
<li>Run <i>db/mysql.sql</i> script stored in TODO List Project directory.
The script creates table and fills it with sample data.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>The strongly preferred way is to create all your PHP applications underneath the documents directory (<i>htdocs</i>)
of your web server (so the web server can access them directly, e.g. <i>http://localhost/TodoList/web/</i>). If it is not
your case, then set project properties to deploy project sucessfully to it:
<ol type="a">
<li>Right-click on the <i>TodoList</i> project node and select <i>Properties</i>.</li>
<li>Check the option <i>Copy files from Sources Folder to another location</i>.</li>
<li>In <i>Copy to Folder</i> field specify the path of the documents directory (<i>htdocs</i>)
of your web server.</li>
<li>Specify the <i>Project URL</i> to be appropriate with your settings from previous field and
also with Web Server setup.</li>
<li>Confirm the settings.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>
Finally, we can run the project. Right-click the project node again and select <i>Run Project</i>
or use the <i>Run Project</i> icon in the main menu toolbar.
The sample PHP application should open in the Web browser.
</li>
<li>Play futher with the sample :)</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="debugging">Debugging</h3>
<p class="p">
These steps should enable you the debugging option at the sample project,
<a href="http://wiki.netbeans.org/HowToConfigureXDebug" target="_blank">if you already have PHP debugger
installed and configured</a>.<br>
For demonstrating the PHP debugger in NetBeans we have to put the project to the web server documents directory (<i>htdocs</i>):
</p>
<ol class="p">
<li>Create new <i>TODO ListSample Application</i> with following settings:</li>
<li>Set the <i>Project Folder</i> to your web server documents (<i>htdocs</i>) directory, for example:
<i>C:\Program Files\Apache2.2\htdocs\TodoList</i></li>
<li>In project properies (right-click the project node and select <i>Properties</i>.) set the <i>Project URL</i>
to be appropriate with previous setting, for example: <i>http://localhost/TodoList/web/</i></li>
<li>To debug, right-click the project node and select <i>Debug Project</i>
or use the <i>Debug Project</i> icon in the main menu toolbar.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Project folder's structure</h3>
<ul class="p">
<li><i>config</i> - Contains configuration file <i>config.ini</i> where you can edit the DB connection settings.</li>
<li><i>dao</i> - Contains DAO (Data Access Object) classes.</li>
<li><i>db</i> - Contains SQL dump for creating the database.</li>
<li><i>exception</i> - Contains custom exceptions.</li>
<li><i>layout</i> - Contains layout common for all web pages.</li>
<li><i>mapping</i> - Contains classes used for mapping from database to model classes.</li>
<li><i>model</i> - Contains model classes.</li>
<li><i>page</i> - Contains pages of the TodoList application.</li>
<li><i>util</i> - Contains utility classes.</li>
<li><i>validation</i> - Contains validation classes.</li>
<li><i>web</i> - Contains publicly accessible files (PHP scripts, CSS, JS, images).</li>
</ul>
