Prado PHP Framework - Basic appliction project
==============================================

[](#prado-php-framework---basic-appliction-project)

PRADO is a component-based and event-driven programming framework for developing Web applications in PHP. PRADO stands for PHP Rapid Application Development Object-oriented.

This repo contains a basic application project for Prado4.

The best way to install the Prado4 basic application is [through composer](http://getcomposer.org). If you don't use composer yet, first install it:

```
# download composer.phar
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
# install it globally on the system
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
```

Then, create the application structure using composer:

```
composer create-project pradosoft/prado-app app
```

The application will be installed in the "app" directory.

### Built-in PHP Test Web Server

[](#built-in-php-test-web-server)

The built-in PHP Test Web Server can be used to immediately start developing and testing a PRADO web application. The web server is started with command (assuming the above application in the directory "app"):

```
cd app/protected
./vendor/bin/prado-cli http
```

The application is then accessible on the machine's browser at `http://127.0.0.1:8080/`. The built-in web server is enabled when the application is in "Debug" mode or is enabled in the application configuration parameters.

PRADO Composer Extensions
-------------------------

[](#prado-composer-extensions)

PRADO 4.2 supports Composer extensions to plug in new functionality directly into a PRADO application; such as new web controls, API integration, authorization, new services, analytics, custom behaviors, and CLI commands. 3rd party extensions can be found at [Packagist - Prado4-Extensions](https://packagist.org/?query=prado4&type=prado4-extension).

The example PRADO Composer extension has its own manifest, Module, web page, and error messages. It can be included in the application with the following command:

```
composer require --prefer-dist pradosoft/prado-composer-extension "*"
```

Once downloaded and installed in composer, an extension is activated by adding the Composer Extension Name as a new module ID in the application configuration file application.xml or application.php. To include the example extension "pradosoft/prado-composer-extension", the PRADO configuration would include this module xml:

```

  ...

```

When using a Composer Extension as a module id, the class for the module is embedded in the Composer Extension Manifest and does not need to be specified.
