Simple CMS Example with PHP, PostgreSQL, PDO, and Prepared Statements

Caution

This is a basic example demonstrating how to implement a simple CMS using PHP, PostgreSQL, PDO, and Prepared Statements. This is not a production-ready CMS.

Purpose:

This repository is intended to provide a starting point for learning about:

• Connecting to a PostgreSQL database using PDO
• Using Prepared Statements for secure data interaction
• Implementing basic CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) for pages

Important Notes:

• Security: This example is not secure enough for production use. For a real-world CMS, you'll need to implement:
  • Robust user authentication and authorization
  • Input validation and sanitization
  • Cross-site scripting (XSS) protection
  • SQL injection prevention
  • Secure password storage
• Functionality: This example only provides basic page management. To build a full-fledged CMS, you'll need to add features such as:
  • Content management (posts, articles, etc.)
  • User roles and permissions
  • Templating and theming
  • Search functionality
  • Media management
  • And much more...

Getting Started:

1. Set up a PostgreSQL database:
   • Create a new database and user for this project.
   • Make sure you have the necessary database credentials in the database.php file.
2. Create the database tables:
   • You'll need at least a pages table with columns for title and content.
3. Run the example code:
   • You can use a local server or a web hosting service to run the code.
   • Access the example pages through your web browser.

Disclaimer:

This example is provided as-is and without warranty. It is intended for educational purposes only and should not be used in production environments without significant security enhancements and feature additions.
