Jul 21, 2019GSoC PMA week 8: Work report before 2nd evaluationThis was my 8th week of coding in GSoC and next would be second evaluation. My main task for the 8th week was to complete the composer package and host it as a stand alone repository along with completing my all previous work . For the composer package, I wrote the package properties as composer.json and all functionalities in a well structured manner. The composer works completely stand alone of phpMyAdmin, stills gives status of configuration variables in a similar manner. Also I added tests so that the package can be directly tested in the terminal rather than only in the browser.PHP1 min read
