Booking Bat allows you to take appointments from your website. Allow your customers to schedule appointments with Booking Bat!

Create Project

Use composer to install the project

composer create-project --stability="dev" bookingbat/application

Install Database

Copy database-config.dist.ini to database-config.ini and edit in your appropriate database credentials. Then run install.sql

Email queue

The application sends emails for appointment confirmations & reminders. These are added to a queue which is then batched. To batch the queue hit the URL /email/send. You may wish to add a cron job to batch out the email queue at predefined intervals.

Run Tests

To run the unit tests simply run

./test

Ensure xdebug is enabled for your CLI webserver. With xdebug present, ZF2 redirects do not run if a PHP warning was generated earlier. Without xdebug they do work. Therefore there may be a test failure in Travis CI (which uses xdebug) that you don't see locally, if you don't do this:

php --server=localhost:8000 --docroot="public" &
echo '<?php phpinfo();' > public/phpinfo.php
#find the php.ini path and load xdebug like you normally do
ps aux | grep php
# (find the PID of the webserver & kill it, then restart it)
