This document outlines a case study for a web-based affiliate network system. The system aims to provide an affiliate solution for small to medium retailers to drive traffic and increase sales. It has two main types of users: retailers who manage profiles, products, and commissions, and publishers who manage relationships and view reports. The system was developed using Symfony and Doctrine on a Red Hat Linux server with MySQL database. It follows a four-tier architecture separating data, business logic, and interfaces.
