Installation

You must have Apache, MySQL, and PHP installed. A simple download and install of XAMPP may be the fastest method to get started, but other setups will work as well.

Checkout this project in the xampp/htdocs directory and install the depencies by running the following:
git clone git://github.com/asheehan/zendTodo.git zendTodo

Setup the MySQL database and user by running:
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO zend_user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'longcat';
 From the commandline we can now import tables/data (file is located in the root directory of the git project:
mysql -u zend_user -p < zend_todo.sql

Modify your apache vhosts (default for xampp is xampp/apache/conf/extra/http-vhosts.conf) to point to zendTodo/public <VirtualHost *:80>
  %DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\zendTodo\public"
  ServerName zendTodo
  ServerAlias zendTodo
  <Directory "C:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\zendTodo\public">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
<VirtualHost>

Restart apache and point your browser to http://zendTodo (you can also modify your /etc/hosts to have zendTodo resolve without the need for http://)

Project Objective

Create a simple “TO-DO List” web application, based on the Zend Framework, which demonstrates knowledge of object-oriented PHP best practices and an understanding of the MVC design pattern (as implemented in Zend Framework).

Functional requirements

  1. On the main page, a TO-DO List containing a list of items should be displayed. Each item in this list should be displayed with a checkbox, Edit link, and Delete link alongside it.
  2. The TO-DO list should be loaded from a database each time this page is accessed.
  3. Below the form, an “Add New TO-DO” button should be displayed.
  4. Below the form, a “Delete Selected” button should be displayed. Clicking this button should trigger the removal of all currently selected items from the TO-DO List. If no items were selected, an error message should be displayed (this validation can occur client- side or server-side).
  5. Clicking the “Add New TO-DO” button or the Edit link next to an item in the list should both take the user to a new page that contains a form consisting of a text field and a Save button. If an Edit link was clicked to get to this page, the text field should be pre- populated with the TO-DO item associated with that Edit link.
  6. Clicking the Save button on the Add/Edit form should either save the contents of the text field as a new TO-DO item (if adding) or update the existing TO-DO item (if editing).

Architectural requirements

  1. The application must be written in object-oriented PHP.
  2. The application must utilize the Zend framework and adhere to its design patterns.
  3. The application must demonstrate usage of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern.
  4. The application must utilize a MySQL database, accessed by appropriately utilizing the Zend Framework’s model patterns.

Deliverables

  1. The (well-commented) source code for the PHP application including any dependent classes or libraries (e.g. Zend Framework).
  2. A MySQL dump file that can be used to recreate your application’s database.
  3. A brief document outlining how to install and access your application using the above deliverables.
