TooBasic
========
A very basic Controller and Template class to kickstart a simple PHP application. It is action-driven; meaning you define methods like **getIndex()**, **getPage($name)** and **postForm()**. These methods get called when users navigate to /index, /page/something or POST to /form respectively.
Usage
=====
Clone this repository (or use submodules) in the directory where you want to store your own code. Then create `index.php` like this:
```php
_db = new Pdo(/* missing parameters */);
$this->_tpl = new TooBasic\Template;
// Define some variables which are available in all templates
$this->_tpl->title = 'My first site';
$this->_tpl->time = date('r');
}
public function getPage($name)
{
$query = $this->_db->prepare("SELECT * FROM Page WHERE !deleted AND name = ?");
if (!$query->execute(['name' => $name]))
throw new Exception("Could not find page in database");
// Make $this->page available in the template
$this->_tpl->page = $query->fetch();
// Fetch the 'page' template; it's contents are then wrapped
// in the header and footer contained in tpl/_wrapper.php
print $this->_tpl->get('page')->getWrapped();
}
// 'index' is the default action
public function getIndex()
{
return $this->getPage('index');
}
// This gets called when a user POSTs to /form
public function postForm()
{
$this->_tpl->user = htmlspecialchars($_POST['user']);
return $this->getPage('thanks');
}
// You can also define a generic method which gets called when the specific action is unknown
public function get($action)
{
throw new Exception('Sorry we have never heard of this "'. $action .'" you speak of');
}
// This action gets called when an error occurs; eg the action is unknown
protected function _handle(Exception $e)
{
if (!headers_sent())
http_response_code(500);
// This is an alternative syntax for Template; it is equal
// to $this->_tpl->get('error')->getWrapped() but has a
// separate scope. Thus, it doesn't know about 'title' in
// this example, only 'exception' is available
TooBasic\Template::show('error', ['exception' => $e]);
}
}
My_First_Site::dispatch();
````
As for templates; create tpl/_wrapper.php and tpl/page.php. The _wrapper.php could contain:
```html
=$this->content?>
```
while the page.php could contain
```html
=$this->page['title']?>
=$this->page['content']?>
```
