book-inventory's Issues

Update README

• Add instructions on how to setup/run a SQLite db locally on a mac on master branch
• Add instructions suited for MySQL on mysqli and heroku branches
• Change heroku2 branch name and update links

Refactor to use PDO instead of MySQLi

PDO can be used for other SQL database types (SQLite for example) while MySQLi only works for MySql databases (unless there's a mySQL plugin or something).

Also want to refactor to use an object oriented style instead of procedural.

Error Messaging

Important for when the program can't connect to the database.

Use object oriented style instead of proceduaral

Store Form Progress for ADD

As a user whenever I accidentally forget to fill out all form fields to add a book, I'd like the error message to show and not clear our the parts of the form that I've already added info to.

More Security Features

Revise ADD, EDIT, and DELETE functionality to include filters for the incoming data. This can help to prevent SQL injection attacks.

Refactor

I'd like to move all of the PHP commands that query the db into a separate functions file.

This can help to make the queries reusable in more places as the application grows while making the code more readable.
