Project structure for PHP

Question

I am new to PHP and want to know the directory structure for the php projects. I have experience in Java and in java we have src contains java source files, WEB-INF contains lib

Answer 1

I tend to use a Feature-based folder structure for my backend projects. Every feature-folder has his own controller, manager and routes file. This works well for api-backends. It looks in a way like https://blog.nikolaposa.in.rs/2017/01/16/on-structuring-php-projects/

For example, we have a Customer feature with a CustomerController, CustomerRepository, CustomerRoutes,..

My folder structure looks like this:

- build/
-- phpdox.xml
-- phpmd.xml
-- phpunit.dist.xml
- config/
- public/
-- .htaccess
-- index.php
-- assets/
- src/
-- Customer/
--- CustomerController.php
--- CustomerRepository.php
--- Customer.php
--- customer.routes.php
- tests/
- vendor/
composer.json
.gitignore
