Connected TV Shows

==================

PHP 5 application which retrieves TV show data from IMDb.com and creates a graph,

connecting the TV shows which have common actors.

Connections

-----------

You can set criteria to define whether an actor should act as a connection

between two TV shows, e.g. by setting a minimum threshold of episodes the actor

has had to play in. Otherwise, actors with trivial one-episode background roles 

pretty much connect every show with _all_ the others, creating a huge, unusable

graph.

Requirements

------------

- PHP 7

- SQL database engine (e.g. MySQL)

- [GraphViz](http://www.graphviz.org/Download..php) [1]

[1] Or any similar graph framework that can be run from command line.

Usage Warnings

--------------

1. Meant to run locally; it is (probably) not safe to be run on a public webserver

   without some form of password protection as user input not properly sanitized

   everwhere

2. Only supports TV shows (movies cannot be processed)
