Folder Structure

When organizing the folder structure for a university academic course registration system using PHP MVC, it's important to keep the codebase well-organized and modular. Here's a suggested folder structure that includes directories for CSS, JS, HTML, database, PHP, and reporting:

📁university-registration-system
├── 📄index.php
├── 📁css
│   ├── 📄style.css
│   └── 📄bootstrap.min.css
├── 📁js
│   ├── 📄script.js
│   └── 📄jquery.min.js
├── 📁html
│   └── 📁templates
│       ├── 📄header.html
│       ├── 📄footer.html
│       ├── 📄home.html
│       ├── 📄courses.html
│       ├── 📄registration.html
│       └── 📄profile.html
├── 📁database
│   ├── 📁migrations
│   │   ├── 📄create_courses_table.php
│   │   ├── 📄create_students_table.php
│   │   └── 📄create_enrollments_table.php
│   └── 📁seeds
│       ├── 📄courses_seed.php
│       └── 📄students_seed.php

│   ├── 📁app
│   │   ├── 📁controllers
│   │   │   ├── 📄HomeController.php
│   │   │   ├── 📄CoursesController.php
│   │   │   ├── 📄RegistrationController.php
│   │   │   └── 📄ProfileController.php
│   │   ├── 📁models
│   │   │   ├── 📄Course.php
│   │   │   ├── 📄Student.php
│   │   │   └── 📄Enrollment.php
│   │   └── 📁views
│   │       ├── 📄home_view.php
│   │       ├── 📄courses_view.php
│   │       ├── 📄registration_view.php
│   │       └── 📄profile_view.php
│   ├── 📁config
│   │   └── 📄database.php
│   ├── 📁routes
│   │   └── 📄web.php
│   └── 📄bootstrap.php
└── 📁reporting
    ├── 📄enrollment_report.php
    ├── 📄course_statistics_report.php
    └── 📄student_transcript_report.php

In this structure, each directory has been represented by a folder emoji (📁), and each file has been represented by a document emoji (📄). The main components such as index.php, CSS and JS files, HTML templates, database scripts, PHP MVC components (controllers, models, views), and reporting files are organized in their respective directories.

1. Root Folder:

   • index.php (Entry point for the application)

2. CSS:

   • style.css (CSS files for styling the application)

3. JS:

   • script.js (JavaScript files for client-side functionality)

4. HTML:

   • templates (HTML templates for the views)

5. Database:

   • migrations (Database migration scripts)
   • seeds (Seed data for the database)

6. PHP:

   • app:

     • controllers (Controller classes)
     • models (Model classes)
     • views (View classes)
     • helpers (Helper functions)

   • config:

     • database.php (Database configuration)

   • routes:

     • web.php (Route definitions)

   • bootstrap.php (Application bootstrapping and initialization)

7. Reporting:

   • reports (Generated reports)

This folder structure follows the principles of the PHP MVC pattern and separates different components of the system:

• The CSS directory contains CSS files that handle the styling of the application.

• The JS directory contains JavaScript files for client-side functionality, such as form validation or dynamic UI updates.

• The HTML directory holds HTML templates for the views. These templates can be used by the View classes to generate dynamic content.

• The Database directory includes folders for database-related tasks. The migrations folder contains scripts for managing database schema changes, and the seeds folder contains seed data for populating the database with initial values.

• The PHP directory is further divided into several subdirectories:

  • The app/controllers directory contains the Controller classes responsible for handling user requests and interacting with the models.
  • The app/models directory contains the Model classes that represent the data and handle database interactions.
  • The app/views directory holds the View classes responsible for generating the HTML output to be presented to the users.
  • The app/helpers directory can contain helper functions or utility classes used across the application.
  • The config directory stores configuration files, such as the database.php file that contains the database connection details.
  • The routes directory contains route definition files, such as web.php, which maps URLs to specific controllers and actions.
  • The bootstrap.php file is responsible for bootstrapping the application, initializing necessary components, and setting up any required dependencies.

• The Reporting directory is for storing generated reports. This can include any reports generated by the system, such as enrollment reports or course statistics.

Note that this is a basic representation of the folder structure and may not include all possible files and directories for a complete university academic course registration system. You can customize and expand the structure based on your specific requirements and the complexity of the system.
