ATTENTION!

[](#attention)

Beginning with version 0.5.0 There is a separation between the framework and developerland. We have developed a skeleton app which uses the new version. This skeleton is available in the repo ChassisPHP/ChassisPHP-skeleton.

Yes, another PHP framework. The goal with ChassisPHP is to be a framework that simplifies the process of creating a brochure-type website. Be sure to visit our new site [ChassisPHP.com](https://chassisphp.com/) It is very new and needs additional info. We would love your help wita the docs! See the repo at [ChassisPHP-site repo](https://github.com/ChassisPHP/ChassisPHP-Website). **We are just getting started. This package is in beta. Use in production with caution**

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system. It's recommended that you use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install ChassisPHP.

### Prerequisites

[](#prerequisites)

- PHP &gt;= 7.1
- Composer
- pdo\_sqlite extension

### Installing

[](#installing)

- create a directory for your project
- from the directory above the project directory, run

```
  composer create-project -s dev rogercreasy/chassis-php [project directory name]
```

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

The following steps will help you configure your install of ChassisPHP for the first time.

1. Copy the `.env.example` file to `.env` and ensure that it is readable by the web server process. The .env file is pre-populated with a standard configuration for the PDO SQLite extension (pdo\_sqlite.)
2. Ensure that your sqlite database is upgraded by running the Doctrine ORM schema update. This can be handled in the following ways:

Unix: `php vendor/bin/doctrine orm:schema-tool:update`

Windows: `php vendor\doctrine\orm\bin\doctrine orm:schema-tool:update` or `vendor\bin\doctrine.bat orm:schema-tool:update`

3. Attempt to login to the `/backend/login` page with the following credentials:

Username: admin@chassis.123

Password: admin

4. After logging in, navigate to `/backend/users` and select "Add User."
5. Specify your name, email, password, and ensure that you set the user level to `1`. It is **very important** that you create your own unique administrator, so that others cannot circumvent the login protection and login using the default information.
6. Delete the default administrator by navigating back to `/backend/users` and selecting "Delete."

### Testing

[](#testing)

To run a test, use:

```
$ phpunit
```

*if your environment isn't set up yet, find phpunit at `.\vendor\bin\phpunit`*

Style, etc.
-----------

[](#style-etc)

We follow PSR-2 for coding style, PSR-4 autoloading, PSR-7 for messaging, and PSR-11 for containers. We also believe in the use of the Oxford comma (see the above line). :-)

ChassisPHP is not bound to any particular component. **Whenever possible** component use is written such that it can be replaced with a component of the developer's choosing. i.e. the PHP League Container is default. However, if the developer prefers Pimple, she or he can use it.
