Projects Index File

This is w - a - m - p like index file. It shows information about PHP, MySQL, and Apache version. It searches for all aliases, defined in system hosts file, which are pointing to localhost. It also shows list of all directories contained in "projects" directory, provides useful documentation links and loaded php extensions.

It looks like this:

INSTALLATION:

├── projects/
│   ├── index.php
│   ├── project1/
│   ├── project2/
│   ├── project3/
│   ├── ...

Use $params to add your own settings:

$params = [
    'mysql'              => [
        'host' => 'localhost',                                      // mysql host
        'user' => 'infoUser',                                       // mysql username
        'pass' => 'infoPass',                                       // mysql password
    ],
    'pma'                => 'http://localhost/phpmyadmin/',         // pma address
    'hosts'              => '/private/etc/hosts',                   // your hosts file
    'server'             => [
        'liveUrl'  => '#',                                          // connected Server url
        'liveName' => 'Live Server',                                // connected Server name
    ],
    'helpersUrl'         => [                                       // footer links
        'http://www.github.com/login' => 'Git Hub',
    ],
    'projectsListIgnore' => [                                       // projects to be ignored in listing
        '.',
        '..',
        '.git',
        '.idea',
    ],
    'documentation'      => [
        'mysql'  => [
            'defaultLink' => 'http://dev.mysql.com/doc/',           // default mysql documentation link
        ],
        'php'    => [
            'defaultLink' => 'http://php.net/manual/en/index.php',  // default php documentation link
        ],
        'apache' => [
            'defaultLink' => 'https://httpd.apache.org/',           // default apach documentation link

Working Within Git repos

If you are working within git repo and you want to ignore this file without placing it in .gitignore, you can add it to .git/info/exclude. In that way, the file won't be added to the git repo and every team member can have own index file with custom settings.
