Athens/Core
===========

[](#athenscore)

*Athens* is a modern PHP web framework built within the University of Washington's Department of Enrollment Management.

!\[Athens in action\](doc/assets/images/demo.png) \*Easily create forms and manage submission results in\* Athens \*created web applications\* Applications built within *Athens* are:

1. Secure

```
*Athens* automatically provides strong protection against a number of web attacks, including CSRF, XSS, and database injection.

*Athens* also provides easy, seamless encryption for sensitive student information. Encrypting a database column requires a simple declaration in your model schema for each data-field you want to protect. Calls to and from the database on that encrypted data are transparent; *Athens* knows which fields are encrypted and handles the encryption/decryption behind the scenes.

```

2. Attractive

```
*Athens* includes beautiful page templates and user-interface elements. These default templates can be easily overridden with custom themes to implement your own organization's brand.

```

3. Legible

    *Athens* separates declaring *what elements shall be on a page* from *what those elements should look like* and the logic of *how those elements should behave*. Under this model, creating a page is not much more complicated than simply listing the presentational elements that should be present.
4. Extensible

```
This separation of concerns also promotes reusability of components: a web-displayed table can be turned into Excel by changing a single line of code; a web-displayed form can be presented as a PDF by changing a single line of code. Adding a column to a table takes only one line, and in most cases *Athens* will be able to populate that column from the database without any further instruction.

```

Starting an Application
=======================

[](#starting-an-application)

For help installing *Athens* and beginning a new application, see the [application creation tutorial](doc/application-creation.md).

Installation
============

[](#installation)

This library is published on packagist. To install using Composer, add the `"athens/core": "0.*"` line to your `"require"` dependencies:

```
{
    "require": {
        ...
        "athens/core": "0.*",
        ...
    }
}

```

Because Athens depends on multiple other libraries, it is *highly* recommended that you use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install this library and manage dependencies.

Example
=======

[](#example)

Athens uses classes generated by [PropelORM](http://propelorm.org/) to store and retrieve database rows. First, we define a student class in schema.xml:

```

```

Now we can use Propel to generate a `Student` instance and create a form which will store the student in the database:

```
