Persistence in PHP with Doctrine ORM

Creating a project structure

The following is the folder structure of our app:

• blog/: App root created earlier
• bin/: Specific command line tools of our blog app
• config/: Configuration files of our app
• data/: The SQLite database will be stored here
• src/: All PHP classes we write will be here
• vendor/: This is where Composer (see the following section) stores all downloaded dependencies including the source code of Doctrine
• bin/: This is a command-line tool provided by dependencies installed with Composer
• web/: This is the public directory that contains PHP pages and assets such as images, CSS, and JavaScript files

We must create all these directories except the vendor/ one that will be automatically generated later.
