CRUD 2 🧱

Watch the result of this project >> here

🎯 Objectives

• Consolidate and solidify knowledge from the first CRUD exercise

✔️ Specifications

• Build a logic that allows the user or admin to create, read, update and delete data
• Include validation, styling or retaining data when validation fails

🌱 Must-haves

0️⃣ Preparation

• Think of a collection for which you'd like to have an inventory.
• What information is interesting to keep track of?
• Prepare a database structure to contain this info and add some quick dummy content
• Have a look at the provided structure (make as much use of it as you can, it will pay off later)

1️⃣ Read

• Build an overview of your collection on the overview page.

2️⃣ Create

• Create a form containing all the relevant fields.
• Save the field information as a new entry in the database once it is submitted.
• In a real application, you'd validate all data. In this case it's optional: focus on the database parts first.

3️⃣ Update

• Create a new file called edit.php.
• Load this edit page when clicking on an edit entry link for any specific item.
• Make sure the database is updated when the edit form is submitted.

4️⃣ Delete

• Build a link to delete.php that will delete a specific product from the database
• Afterwards, it will redirect to the overview

🌻 Nice-to-haves

• Add a detail page called show.php (no styling needed) that is accessed once an item is clicked.
• Read up on SQL injection and protect your code against it.
