Research Backend Development Projects

A small collection of backend experiment assets and a simple PHP contact form demo.

Repository Contents

  • index.php — Landing page that links to the contact form and Power BI assets.
  • contact.php — Contact form that sends emails via the Resend HTTP API using PHP cURL.
  • dockerfile — Docker build configuration for running the app (PHP + Apache).
  • PHPMailer/ — Bundled PHPMailer library source under PHPMailer/src/:
    • DSNConfigurator.php
    • Exception.php
    • OAuth.php
    • OAuthTokenProvider.php
    • PHPMailer.php
    • POP3.php
    • SMTP.php
  • projects/ — Power BI files and a dashboard PDF (e.g., PowerBi Project.pbix, powerbi dashboard.pdf).

Quick Start

  1. Clone the repository and change into it:
git clone https://github.com/devc2255/Research-Backend-Development-Projects.git
cd Research-Backend-Development-Projects
  1. Set the Resend API key (used by contact.php):
export RESEND_API_KEY="your_resend_api_key_here"
  1. Serve locally with PHP's built-in server:
php -S localhost:8000

Then open http://localhost:8000/index.php in your browser.

Docker

Build and run the Docker image:

docker build -t research-backend-project .
docker run -p 8080:80 research-backend-project

Open http://localhost:8080/index.php when running in Docker.

Live Demo

Live Deployment

Requirements

  • PHP 8.2 or later
  • curl extension enabled (used by contact.php)
  • Optional: Docker for container runs

Notes

  • contact.php currently uses the Resend API (HTTP) to deliver messages via cURL.
  • The PHPMailer/ folder is included in the repo but is not required by contact.php as provided.
  • Default recipient in contact.php is dev448230@gmail.com — update as needed.
  • For production, remove debug display_errors, and store API keys securely (not in code).
