Following on from last week's discussion topic, your company has decided to proceed with the project to create a web application to track customer complaints. Based on the team's proposal, they've come up with some requirements to base your continued analysis on:

A web application that is written in PHP using a MySQL database

The security concern is internal only - the application will be hosted on and only accessible through the company's internal network

The application needs the following capabilities:

Login

View open complaints

Add complaints

Edit complaints

Search/Filter complaints

Your task is to analyze these requirements and come up with a generalized design for the PHP code that describes how you would organize the code for the application and what aspects you would consider modularizing (writing functions for).

In your original post, answer the following:

Would you organize your code into a single folder or multiple folders? Please explain your choice.

What capabilities would you write functions for (modularize) as opposed to simply having PHP code embedded with your display code? Explain your reasoning.

Would you include your functions in the PHP file in which they are used or would you store them in a separate file that you included as required? Explain the benefits of your approach.
