Simple PHP MVC Blog System

Description

This PHP Blog System has an MVC pattern, uses Traits (PHP 5.4), Namespace (PHP 5.3), Singleton pattern, PDO (PHP 5.1) and the new PHP Password Hashing feature (PHP 5.5).

The project was a PHP Challenge Project I have done.

Why this MVC Blog System can be very Useful for You?

If you need to code a simple website under a Professional and very nice/clean code (as I really enjoy doing), this script will be very useful in order to start on good basis and save time and money.

However, if you need to build a blog system, again this project can be used as a framework to start your project easily under a good development pattern and good development practice and organization.

php-mvc-blog-system's Issues

Add section pager

I think it would be a good step to add a pager and a search engine. You dare?

Blog 1

Error in password_verify

I installed this and it worked right away, that is until I tried the login. I struggled with it for awhile as the login failed with "Incorrect Login!" message. As I dug into the code I found a posting about the use of "password_verify." It made it clear that un-encrypted password from the form needed to be the first parameter in the function's argument list. I swapped the encrypted password with the form's input password and it worked right away.

if(password_verify($_POST['password'], $sDbPassword ))

Security Issue for login

You have a serious security issue for login admin. when you want to log the admin in you have not to fetch password from database because it is in danger of sniffing data by MITM attach.

You should add Comments

It is very good code.
I like it.
Next step would add a comments feature.
Think the script deserves this.
