Installer for the Booosta PHP Framework.
========================================

[](#installer-for-the-booosta-php-framework)

This module provides all the installation steps for PHP Booosta.

Booosta allows to develop PHP web applications quick. It is mainly designed for small web applications. It does not provide a strict MVC distinction. Although the MVC concepts influence the framework. Templates, data objects can be seen as the Vs and Ms of MVC.

Up to version 3 Booosta was available at Sourceforge: . From version 4 on it resides on Github and is installable from Packagist under `buzanits/booosta-installer`. Sorry, there will be no (easy) upgrade path from Booosta 3 to Booosta 4.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 8.0
- composer >= 2.3
    Installation of Booosta is done with composer. If you don't have composer installed, see .
- Mysql or MariaDB
- mysqli PHP module
- Use of .htaccess must be enabled in Webserver
    In Apache config use something like `AllowOverride all`
- Enable apache module `rewrite`

### Install your Booosta App

[](#install-your-booosta-app)

- If you want to use a Mysql or MariaDB database set it up together with a user that can access it.

```
#> composer create-project booosta/installer mycoolproject
#> cd mycoolproject
#> composer letsgo

```

- Then you answer some questions about your database connection
- You can install additional Booosta modules with

```
#> composer require booosta/modulename

```

- Let the web root on your web server point to this directory (`mycoolproject` in this example)

### Create your Application

[](#create-your-application)

- Create the DB tables for your data with your favorite tools (like phpmyadmin)
- Create the PHP and template files for every table with

```
#> composer mkfiles

```

- Enter the name of the table you want the files to be created for
- If there is a subtable or supertable enter their name or leave the answer empty
- Edit the PHP files and templates to your need
- Be aware that calling the mkfiles command will overwrite existing files!
