Booosta Tutorial

Simple Example

This example shows a very simple application that just manipulates the data in a database table

index.php:

<?php
include_once 'lib/framework.incl.php';

class App extends Webapp
{
  protected $name = 'person';
  protected $toptpl = '';
}

$app = new App();
$app->run();
?>

Line 2: Include the booosta framework in every PHP file
Line 4: Extend the Webapp class
Line 6: Set the propery "name" to the name of the database table
Line 7: If you do not use nested templates you have to set the class property "toptpl" to ''
Line 10, 11: Create an object and call method run()

tpl/person_default.tpl:

<h1>Persons</h1>

{LINK New~person index.php?action=new}

{%liste}

Line 3: Make a link to the PHP script and set parameter "action" to new to create a new record
Line 5: Show content of the template variable "liste", which is auto created

tpl/person_new.tpl:

<h1>New Person<h1>

{FORMSTART index.php}
{HIDDEN action newdo}

<table>
<tr><td>Firstname </td><td>{TEXT firstname}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Lastname </td><td>{TEXT lastname}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Email </td><td>{TEXT email}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Street </td><td>{TEXT street}</td></tr>
<tr><td>City </td><td>{TEXT city}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Postcode</td><td>{TEXT postcode}</td></tr>
</table>

{FORMSUBMIT}
{FORMEND}

tpl/person_edit.tpl:

<h1>Edit Person</h1>

{FORMSTART index.php}
{HIDDEN action editdo}
{HIDDEN id {%id}}

<table>
<tr><td>Firstname </td><td>{TEXT firstname {%~firstname}}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Lastname </td><td>{TEXT lastname {%~lastname}}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Email </td><td>{TEXT email {%~email}}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Street </td><td>{TEXT street {%~street}}</td></tr>
<tr><td>City </td><td>{TEXT city {%~city}}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Postcode</td><td>{TEXT postcode {%~postcode}}</td></tr>
</table>
