Local events site aggregates 101 sources using PHP and SQLite

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A systems engineer developed a local events website for the Elmira, NY region using PHP and SQLite, consolidating information from 101 diverse sources. The site, which runs on GoDaddy shared hosting, pulls data every six hours to provide a comprehensive view of upcoming events, merging duplicates based on overlapping dates and titles. The project aims to solve the problem of scattered event information across various platforms like libraries, social media, and individual venue websites, offering filters for town, day, category, and cost, with a focus on user privacy by avoiding ads, accounts, and cookies.
