ARCV Design

Application - app.php
~ The application file contains all data specific to the application, including domain info, database credentials, database configurations, encryption keys, regex validations, email templates, and common strings. The only file that requires editing for deployment of included functionality.

Router - root/index.php
~ The index file handles general templating and contains a router for all paths.

Controller - controller.php
~ Paths that utilize POST data, take parameters, or perform multiple functions have a controller function located in the controller file.

View - inc/
~ All modular HTML/PHP segments are contained in view files.

---

Requirements

~ Server running PHP 5.4+ (may work with earlier versions, but not tested)
~ MySQL Database v5.5 (may work with other versions, but not tested)

---

Installation

1. Create a new MySQL database
   

2. Rename 'app-default.php' to 'app.php'
