How to extract php source code from joomla

[elk dolk]

Hi all,
I want to build a website using Joomla 2.5 . It should have 5 pages:

index.php
pageOne.php
pageTwo.php
.......

How can I get the php source code for those pages?

I installed joomla 2.5 on my windows box and use XAMPP's appache web server 
thanks

Erm, Joomla is a CMS, which means that you don't have source code for
individual pages like that. If you want, you don't have to get involved
with the PHP at all in Joomla. What is it that you're actually trying to
achieve?

Thank you for the quick response ! What I am trying to do : I have to complete two university projects for

 my professor !

project One  : Make an online shop and must use the following components in it


Shopping cart, Catalog of products, payment gateway , user login and user activity log .


project Two : Implementing of a B2B sell-side portal with negotiation mechanism.

As I am familiar with php and My.SQL and I have only 20 days to complete those projects !  I thought it's

better to use Joomla I'll be grateful if you can give me an advice


thank you

20 days seems awfully ambitious, does your professor expect you to code
these by hand or are you allowed to use an existing CMS, I ask because
your original question seemed a bit odd.

For e-commerce you're better off choosing a CMS which does that out of
the box. Joomla has plugins that allow you to do these things, but it
can be a hefty CMS, and it's not particularly suited for shops, plus it
has a bit of a learning curve and some large security holes (which I
know first hand having had to just get a Joomla site to pass a rigorous
security test)

Lastly, please try not to top post :)

Thanks,

I am allowed to use tools or code by hand , it does not matter ,the professor wants to have the source code.

You say tools, but would he consider a full-blown complex CMS as merely
a tool, or not? At this point, I agree, your best option is probably a
CMS with plugins, because 20 days is not much time to build that sort of
thing, and that's coming from someone who develops in PHP for a living.

Sounds more like a client than someone who teaches php.

I couldn't do that from scratch in 20 days and I teach php at college level. That's more than my entire 16 weeks course of introductory php. Are you in an advanced class?

Ok, congratulations -- you are studying for an MSc -- but that didn't answer the question.

So, let me repeat the question:

[1] "Are you in an advanced PHP class?"

[2] "Or is this just an introductory class?"


If [1], then the coursework might be understandable, but still very difficult.

If [2], that is far more than what I teach as an "Introduction to PHP" course.

You can use Prestashop, Magento, Oscommerce, etc, and modify at you're
needed.

You can modify above softwares to this purpose.

IMO do NOT use Oscommerce (or the ZenCart fork for that matter) ...
unless you want a lesson in how not to write an application in PHP...
the code and architecture is (well it was the last time I had the
dubious pleasure of working with it...) truly awful....
