Welcome to our advanced PHP course on building a custom MVC framework called PHPAdvance! Throughout this course, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of creating a lightweight MVC framework similar to Laravel but with a smaller footprint. This open-source framework, PHPAdvance, allows you the freedom to modify the name, add new features, and utilize it as your own.
Here's an overview of what we'll cover in this course:✅
Core Library Class: We'll start by creating a core library class that will handle loading controllers and methods from the URL. We'll also explore how to configure the .htaccess file for clean URL routing.
✅
Base Controller Class: Next, we'll develop a base controller class that facilitates the loading of models and views. This class will serve as the foundation for our controllers and aid in their organization and functionality.
✅
Custom Database Library: We'll implement a custom database library that leverages the power of PHP Data Objects (PDO). This library will provide a secure way to interact with the database using prepared statements, ensuring data integrity and protection against SQL injection attacks.
But that's not all! In addition to the framework, we'll build a real-world application called VTU (Virtual Top Up) on top of PHPAdvance.Here are the features we'll integrate into this application:✅
Full User Authentication: Implement a comprehensive user authentication system to ensure secure access to the application.
✅
Dynamic URLs: Utilize dynamic URLs similar to those in Laravel, enabling clean and meaningful routes.
✅
User and Admin Middleware: Create middleware layers to add functionality and security checks for user and admin-specific actions.
✅
User and Admin Dashboards: Develop separate dashboards for users and administrators, offering a tailored experience for each role.
✅
User Wallet Integration: Enable users to manage their virtual wallets within the application, providing a seamless experience for transactions.
✅
Payment Gateway using Flutterwave: Integrate Flutterwave Billing API to facilitate secure payment processing.
Airtime Purchase: Implement a feature for purchasing virtual airtime within the application.
✅
Server-Side Form Validation: Build server-side validation mechanisms to ensure data integrity and protect against erroneous inputs.
✅
Bootstrap 5 Framework: Utilize the latest version of Bootstrap to create a responsive and visually appealing user interface.
✅
Free Paid Soft UI Admin Dashboard Pro: Integrate a professional admin dashboard template for a polished and intuitive user experience.
✅
Virtual Top-Up Project: Develop a complete virtual top-up system to facilitate transactions within the application.
✅
Email Integration: Implement email functionality to enable automated notifications and communication with users.
✅
Cloud Image Upload: Provide a seamless experience for users to upload and manage images using cloud storage solutions.
✅
Helper Functions and More: Add various helper functions and additional features to enhance the functionality and usability of the application.
Please note that this is not a beginner PHP course. It assumes that you already have a solid understanding of PHP basics such as variables, arrays, loops, functions, and the overall syntax. Although a complete understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP) is not mandatory, we will provide a crash course on OOP with PHP before diving into the framework project. This will cover essential concepts like classes, methods, properties, and more.
