PHP exercise with cars

Setting up MAMP (https://www.mamp.info/en/#controlcenter) by installing WordPress to it: https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_Locally_on_Your_Mac_With_MAMP

Used this tutorial to learn PHP in 15 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdP0KM49IVk My tests for this tutorial is in the learning folder.

This is an exercise to learn to code PHP with MySQL. It allows users to view a database of cars, edit/delete certain cars with restrictions, and add new entries.

How to run it: Fork and clone this repository Open MAMP Start servers Open WebStart page Go to main page: http://localhost:8888/ Click on the folder or go to: http://localhost:8888/automobile/ to see results

In MySQLi format, it's able to:

• show a list at automobile-list.php of all the cars,
• Have a link to edit a specific car when clicked on, takes you to automobile-edit.php
• Do form field validation on server side, make sure all fields are required and of appropriate types
• Form validation:
  • year > 1950
  • 5 < weight < 10
  • model (one of following): mercedes, audi, ford, honda, toyota, chevrolet (not case sensitive)
• add new column: sales_email, required, valid e-mail format

If I can at a later time:

• refactor code to MVC best practices
• add a search function
• add a reset database list to the prerecorded ones (without having to do so on Command Line)
• work on design with CSS

The first version does not use MVC best practices and can be found in the non-MVC folder. The index.php now uses MVC best practices by drawing the Model, Controller, and Views from inside the MVC folder.
