Web Finances - Harvard CS50

A simple web application to manage a small stock investment portfolio and keep a record of buy/sell operations.

Project

This is my implementation of the problem set 7 in Harvard's CS50 (2010) when I was following the course back in 2011.

Requirements

• HTTP server configured to run PHP 5
• MySQL database

Tested with EasyPHP DevServer with 5.6.30

Configuration

PHP

Edit php.ini on your web server and set short_open_tag = On to allow PHP to handle short tags like:

<? example(); ?>

Restart server.

Database

Connect to MySQL using command line, PHPMyAdmin or some other client and run script on database/schema.sql to create tables.

Edit includes/constants.php to set database options.

Yahoo quotes

• The Yahoo service for getting quotes is no longer available
• Just to get the project running I implemented a fake service (includes\helpers.php, function lookup)
• For a more "real" application, should replace with a real API
