This exercise evaluates a basic understanding of PHP, jQuery, HTML & CSS. It makes use of the bootstrap UI framework along with the jquery javascript library. All server actions are done in PHP.
You will be creating a basic PHP web app that allows a user to create and modify tasks in a task list type of app. Tasks will be stored in a file as a json encoded string (for the purposes of this exercise). The final result should be a 1 page app that displays a list of tasks and allows the user to click on a task to edit it in a modal (reference bootstrap modals). The user should also be able to create a new task from scratch as well as delete existing tasks.
- You will need to implement the jquery and html code on the frontend to display the task information
- You will need to implement the jquery code on the frontend that sends the task information to the server
- You will need to implement a PHP class that will be able to handle the modification of the task object
- You will need to implement a PHP script that receives a POST with the object information and then either updates, creates or deletes the task object
