6,282 PointsPHP Folder structure question!
Hello, I'm going to start my first php project and I just wanted to know a basic folder structure, nothing elaborate like MVC. I mean folders for includes, connection to mysql, and functions. Can someone point me in the right direction, Thank you.

A typical folder structure would look like:
Folders:
*src >
-inc
-classes
-config.php
*assets >
-img
-js
-css
The config.php file will act as the database connection, or if you are using OOP then you can put an autoloader into this file to include all classes that are in the classes folder. The inc folder is more toward procedural paradigm and will hold function files.
Hope this helps?
cheers, James
