## Technologies used



### Backend



- TMBD API



Fetching data from the  [TMDB API](https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/intro/getting-started) to display items infos and locate youtube trailers.



- Heroku, GIT & PostgreSql



The project is deployed and hosted on Heroku, utilizing the PostgreSQL add-on for database management. It is linked to my github repository for coninuous deployment.



- PHP



For server-side scripting and handling user authentication.



- Composer



Used to manage PHP dependencies, facilitating deployment on Heroku.



### Frontend

This file manages the database connection, utilizing PHP’s PDO extension to interact with the PostgreSQL database. It ensures secure and efficient database operations throughout the project.



- `home.php`



The home page of the Getflix project, where users can view available trailers. It serves as the main landing page after successful login.

## What I've learned.



One should not underestimate PHP deployment on Heroku. Migrating from the local environment to the remote one got me a few more white hairs on my head. I know understand better the concept of SQL database & environment variable.
