README

PRADO is a component-based and event-driven programming framework for developing Web applications in PHP. PRADO stands for PHP Rapid Application Development Object-oriented.

This repo contains a minimal application project for Prado4.

The best way to install the Prado4 basic application is through composer. If you don't use composer yet, first install it:

# download composer.phar
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
# install it globally on the system
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Then, create the application structure using composer:

composer create-project pradosoft/prado-minapp app

The application will be installed in the "app" directory.

Built-in PHP Test Web Server

The built-in PHP Test Web Server can be used to immediately start developing and testing a PRADO web application. The web server is started with command (assuming the above application in the directory "app"):

cd app/protected
./vendor/bin/prado-cli http

The application is then accessible on the machine's browser at http://127.0.0.1:8080/. The built-in web server is enabled when the application is in "Debug" mode or is enabled in the application configuration parameters.
