Pontoporeia 61ac3c002d refactor: encapsulate thesis creation SQL in Database::createThesis()
Move the raw identifier-generation query and the INSERT INTO theses /
INSERT INTO thesis_authors statements out of formulaire.php into two new
Database methods:

  generateThesisIdentifier(int $year): string
    – counts existing theses for the year inside the open transaction so
      concurrent workers cannot produce duplicate YYYY-NNN identifiers.

  createThesis(array $data): int
    – generates the identifier, INSERTs the thesis row, links the author
      via thesis_authors (author_order=1), returns the new thesis ID.

  getThesisIdentifier(int $id): string
    – fetches the stored identifier for a thesis ID; used by formulaire.php
      to reconstruct the upload path (storage/theses/YYYY/YYYY-NNN/).

formulaire.php now calls $db->createThesis([…]) + $db->getThesisIdentifier()
and no longer holds any raw PDO queries for the core thesis insert.
The $pdo local variable (previously $db->getPDO()) is removed entirely.

All four test suites (Unit, RateLimit, Integration, Security) pass.

File Types

User-Facing Templates (Root Directory)

Files that display HTML to users:

  • index.php - Lists all theses with filters and bulk actions
  • add.php - Form to add a new thesis
  • edit.php - Form to edit an existing thesis
  • import.php - CSV import interface
  • thanks.php - Success confirmation page

Backend Scripts (actions/)

Files that process forms and redirect (no HTML output):

  • formulaire.php - Processes thesis submission from add.php
  • publish.php - Handles publish/unpublish actions

Shared Templates (inc/)

Reusable HTML components:

  • head.php - HTML head, CSS links, navigation menu
  • footer.php - HTML footer

Workflow

Adding a Thesis

  1. User visits add.php (displays form)
  2. User submits form to actions/formulaire.php (processes data)
  3. On success, redirects to thanks.php?id=123
  4. On error, redirects back to add.php with error message

Publishing/Unpublishing

  1. User clicks publish/unpublish button in index.php
  2. Form submits to actions/publish.php (processes action)
  3. Redirects back to index.php with success/error message

Security

  • All pages require HTTP Basic Auth (configured in nginx) — primary layer
  • All pages require PHP session auth (AdminAuth::requireLogin()) — defence-in-depth
  • CSRF tokens protect all forms
  • File uploads validated and sanitized
  • Database queries use prepared statements
  • Upload directory outside public/ in production

See nginx/PHP_AUTH_LAYER.md for details on the dual-auth architecture.

Templates

The inc/ folder contains shared templates:

  • head.php - Included at the top of each page (DOCTYPE, CSS, nav)
  • footer.php - Included at the bottom of each page (closing tags)

Usage:

<?php include "inc/head.php" ?>
<!-- Page content here -->
<?php include "inc/footer.php" ?>

URL Structure

  • /admin/ - List theses (index.php)
  • /admin/add.php - Add new thesis
  • /admin/edit.php?id=123 - Edit thesis #123
  • /admin/import.php - Import CSV
  • /admin/thanks.php?id=123 - Thank you page

Backend actions (not directly accessed):

  • /admin/actions/formulaire.php - Form processor
  • /admin/actions/publish.php - Publish toggle

Development

Adding a New Page

  1. Create the template in /admin/yourpage.php:
<?php
require_once __DIR__ . "/../../config/bootstrap.php";
require_once __DIR__ . '/../../lib/AdminAuth.php';
AdminAuth::requireLogin();
$pageTitle = "Your Page Title";
?>
<?php include "inc/head.php" ?>

<!-- Your content here -->

<?php include "inc/footer.php" ?>
  1. Add navigation link in inc/head.php if needed

Adding a New Action

  1. Create the script in /admin/actions/youraction.php:
<?php
require_once __DIR__ . "/../../config/bootstrap.php";
require_once __DIR__ . '/../../lib/AdminAuth.php';
AdminAuth::requireLogin();

// Verify CSRF token
if (!hash_equals($_SESSION['csrf_token'], $_POST['csrf_token'])) {
    $_SESSION['error'] = "Security error";
    header('Location: ../index.php');
    exit;
}

// Process action...

// Redirect
header('Location: ../yourpage.php');
exit;
  1. Create form in template that posts to actions/youraction.php

Notes

  • Bootstrap path from actions/: __DIR__ . "/../../config/bootstrap.php"
  • Redirects from actions/: use ../ prefix (e.g., ../index.php)
  • Database class: require_once __DIR__ . '/../../lib/Database.php'
  • All forms must include CSRF token from $_SESSION['csrf_token']
