Build an Events Manager with Native PHP - Trongate v2 Tutorial

INTRODUCTION In this tutorial, we build a complete Events Manager using Trongate v2 - the native PHP framework built for speed, clarity and AI-friendly development. If you have ever wondered what ‘native PHP’ actually means, it refers to writing pure PHP with no third-party dependencies such as Composer. Instead of fighting the language, Trongate works in harmony with PHP itself. Since the vast majority of PHP uses snake case, Trongate follows the same convention throughout. Trongate v2 delivers exceptionally fast benchmarks, but performance is only part of the story. It has also been carefully designed to be highly compatible with AI-assisted development. If you would like to understand the thinking behind that design philosophy, you can read the full article here: https://trongate.io/essays/the-reason-why-trongate-v2-was-built WHAT YOU WILL BUILD In this tutorial, you will create a simple but practical Events Manager. You will learn how to create, read, update and delete events, with each event storing both a start date and a start time. We will also cover the use of the ‘datetime-local’ form input field - a modern HTML feature that provides browser-native date and time pickers. These automatically adapt to the user’s locale, meaning UK users see UK-formatted dates and US users see US-formatted dates. All of the code used in this tutorial is available on GitHub. Feel free to download it, explore it and adapt it for your own projects.
