The site is designed to provide structure for basic content (JavaScript, CSS, etc) while remaining small in size so that it is easy to remove files you don’t need and customize it for your site. πŸš€ Getting Started ----------------- [](#-getting-started) **Getting started with PHP and FastSitePHP is extremely easy.** If you do not have PHP installed then see instructions for Windows, Mac, and Linux on the getting started page: The starter site does not include the Framework so you will need to run `scripts/install.php` to download it and install it. Once setup you can launch a site from the command-line as show below or if you use a Code Editor or IDE \[Visual Studio Code, GitHub Atom, etc\] then you can launch the site directly from your editor. See the above getting started page for more. ### Download and run this site [](#download-and-run-this-site) ``` # Download this Repository cd {starter-site-root} php ./scripts/install.php php -S localhost:3000 ``` ### Create a new project using Composer (PHP Dependency/Package Manager) [](#create-a-new-project-using-composer-php-dependencypackage-manager) In addition to downloading this repository you can also start a new project using Composer. ``` composer create-project fastsitephp/starter-site my-app cd my-app php -S localhost:3000 ``` ### Install directly on a server [](#install-directly-on-a-server) A bash script is available for a quick setup of a Web Server (Apache or nginx), PHP, and FastSitePHP with a Starter Site. This script works for a full setup on a default OS when nothing is installed. Supported Operating Systems (more will be added in the future): - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Confirmed Cloud Environments: - `Amazon AWS Lightsail` with user `ubuntu` - `DigitalOcean` with user `root` ``` wget https://www.fastsitephp.com/downloads/create-fast-site.sh sudo bash create-fast-site.sh ``` ### Supported Versions of PHP [](#supported-versions-of-php) - The FastSitePHP Starter Site works with all versions of PHP from `5.3` to `8.3`. - If you need to install the Starter Site on a Server with PHP 5.3 you will need to set the `short_open_tag = On` on your server's `php.ini` file. ### Directory Structure [](#directory-structure) ``` {root} | | # PHP Code β”œβ”€β”€ app | β”œβ”€β”€ Controllers/*.php | β”œβ”€β”€ Middleware/*.php | β”œβ”€β”€ Models/*.php | β”œβ”€β”€ Views/*.php β”‚ └── app.php # Main Application File β”‚ | # Application Data Files β”œβ”€β”€ app_data β”‚ └── i18n/*.json # JSON Files for Multiple languages β”‚ | # Documentation β”œβ”€β”€ docs β”‚ | # Web Root Folder β”œβ”€β”€ public | β”œβ”€β”€ css/* | β”œβ”€β”€ img/* | β”œβ”€β”€ js/* β”‚ └── index.php # Entry point for web root β”‚ | # Application Scripts β”œβ”€β”€ scripts β”‚ | # Vendor files (created when installing dependencies) └── vendor ``` πŸ–₯️ Starter Site Print Screens (Screenshots) ------------------------------------------- [](#️-starter-site-print-screens-screenshots) [![Starter Site Home Page](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fastsitephp/static-files/master/img/starter_site/2020-01-10/home-page.png)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fastsitephp/static-files/master/img/starter_site/2020-01-10/home-page.png) [![Starter Site Example Page](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fastsitephp/static-files/master/img/starter_site/2020-01-10/data-page.png)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fastsitephp/static-files/master/img/starter_site/2020-01-10/data-page.png) [![Starter Site Login Page](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fastsitephp/static-files/master/img/starter_site/2020-01-10/login-page.png)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fastsitephp/static-files/master/img/starter_site/2020-01-10/login-page.png) πŸ”’ πŸš€ Security and Performance ---------------------------- [](#--security-and-performance) FastSitePHP’s Starter Site is designed to provide strong security using best practices and high performance with the initial template.
