Granular CollectionI am currently returning to my PHP MVC application project. It is a collection of objects. The idea is to build a super granular item database / search tool. My particular implementation of it is wrist watches. I can do a pretty good search for watches on sites like Chrono24 and the gray market site Jomashop. But these have definite limitations.
For example, I like watches that are categorized as dress watches. I also like watches that do not have a date complication. With this app users can search for watches with a specified case size, lug width, date or no date and many other attributes that other sites cannot search on.
I am very new to this particular framework, however, so it'll be interesting to see how I can pull it off. I am using categories and a linking table for them, as well as an attribute table and a linking table for them. The attributes will drive the search page so it can be expanded as needed. The idea is to build a framework for collections of any number of items, not just watches.
As I make progress on this I will post the project's URL.
