Getting Started

1. Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your database details.
2. Create the database and tables:
   • users (id, username, password, etc.)

3. Point your web server to public/index.php
4. Start building!

Setting Up Secure Credentials

After setting up your database, you will need to create an admin user with secure credentials. Follow these steps:

1. Access your database management tool.
2. Navigate to the users table.
3. Insert a new record with the following fields:
   • Username: Choose a secure username (e.g., admin_yourname).
   • Password: Use a strong password generated by a password manager.
4. Save the record.

Avoid using generic or default credentials for better security.

Security

• Do NOT commit your real .env file.
• Add .env to .gitignore.
• Always validate user input in production!
