Classic PHP Store

This is a simple e-commerce application built with PHP (procedural style) and MySQL/MariaDB, designed and developed by AyKrimino. It was created as an educational project to showcase classic PHP development practices, including a custom database schema, user authentication, product management, and more.

⚡ Requirements

• PHP >= 7.x (preferably 7.4 or above)
• MySQL/MariaDB server
• A web server such as Apache or Nginx (or use PHP's built-in server)
• XAMPP/LAMPP if on Linux (for an easier installation setup)
• Basic knowledge of PHP and SQL

---

📂 Installation

1. Clone the project

   git clone https://github.com/AyKrimino/classic-php-store.git
   cd classic-php-store
   
   

2. Create the database

• Start your MySQL/MariaDB server
• Create a new database (for example, classic_php_store).
• Import the SQL schema located in config/schema.sql.

Example using the MySQL shell:

mysql -u your_username -p classic_php_store < config/schema.sql

3. Configure Database Credentials

This project uses a simple .env file to manage your database credentials.

This file is not provided by default for security reasons.

Step 1: Create a .env file in the root of the project

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_USER=your_mysql_username
DB_PASS=your_mysql_password
DB_NAME=your_database_name

Step 2: Save the file

4. Set Up Your Web Server

• For XAMPP/LAMPP Users: Place the project folder in your /opt/lampp/htdocs/ directory.
• Other Web Servers: Configure your virtual host to point to the project directory.

Open your browser and navigate to:

http://localhost/classic-php-store

🔧 Assets Setup

Before uploading product images, you need to ensure that the appropriate directory exists and is writable by your web server. Follow these steps:

1. Create the Directory
   In your project root, create the assets/images/products/ directory if it doesn't already exist:

   mkdir -p assets/images/products

2. *Set Directory Permissions Change the permissions of the directory to allow file uploads:

   chmod 777 assets/images/products

🛠 Creating an Admin Account

To create an admin account for testing purposes, follow these steps:

1. Open your terminal.

2. Run the Admin Creation Script:

• If you're on Linux using XAMPP/LAMPP, run:

  /opt/lampp/bin/php createsuperuser.php -n "admin" -e "[email protected]" -p "Admin123"

• For other environments, simply use the PHP binary installed on your system:

  php createsuperuser.php -n "admin" -e "[email protected]" -p "Admin123"

Notes: - Ensure your MySQL server is running. - The script will hash the password and insert the admin user into the User table, then link the record in the Admin table.

3. Log In as Admin:

Open your browser and navigate to:

http://localhost/classic-php-store/admin-sign-in.php

Use the credentials:

• email: [email protected]
• password: Admin123

⚠️ Notes

• This project is developed for educational purposes and demonstrates classic procedural PHP development practices.
• While functional, security practices in this project are basic. For production-ready systems, consider implementing more robust security, validation, and error handling.
• If you modify the database schema or configuration settings, make sure to update your .env file accordingly.
