Web-based, lightweight application to view Singapore's 4D lottery results. Built on PHP (CodeIgniter framework).
Specifically formatted to follow Teletext colours and displayed via the Midori browser installed in Raspbian for Raspberry Pi. Font sizes catered for NTSC output via RCA Video-Out for older televisions.
The app uses JavaScript to automatically refresh page when the next result day has arrived.
Pi4D requires no databases and only requires the cURL extension in addition to CodeIgniter installed on your web server.
The GuzzleHTTP library is used to communicate with the API and this is installed via Composer.
Open the configuration file loccated at application/config/pi4d.php.
There, you will see two lines to configure. You must specify an API endpoint to retrieve the JSON-formatted 4D results.
The application expects the following format for the JSON input
Note that the result's date must be given in data->result->date in the YYYYMMDD format.

Why such an obscure format? The JSON input format is based upon existing APIs available in the Internet
