I needed to stop reinventing the wheel everything I was doing a semi-basic PHP site. This is a nice middleground where you want to have an organized project setup, but don't really need something as verbose as the wonderful Laravel

This project assumes that you have Composer installed. If not, follow the steps on the composer project page.

Once that's done, add any additional php components you want to include in your project to composer.json and install the components:

composer install

Or, if you didn't install composer globally:

php /path/to/composer.phar install

Once installation is done, you can use the included Makefile to move some of the related vendor assets to your public directory. This will have to be done anytime a composer package is updated (like bootstrap, which is included by default)

make assets

And, finally, when you are done hacking away at asset_src/less/main.less, run this make command to build your main css file in public/assets/css/main.min.css

make less

Then, make sure your webserver is pointing to the public directory as your project's webroot, or use PHP's built in webserver to test everything out (Run from within the public folder):

php -S localhost:2000
