This repository contains a comprehensive CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application developed using PHP and CodeIgniter 3. The application demonstrates a well-structured MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture with additional features for session management, validation, and security. It includes a HomeController, CrudController, CrudService, CrudRepository, and DatabaseModel, along with a Validation Helper and View Handling.

• MVC Architecture: Organized code structure for maintainability and scalability.
• CRUD Operations: Perform Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations.
• Session Management: Secure and efficient session handling.
• Validation: Extensive form validation using CodeIgniter's form_validation.
• Security: User passwords are stored using password_hash for enhanced security.
• Unified Form: Registration and update are managed through a single form.
• Exception Handling: Proper exception handling throughout the application.
• Logging: Specific logging for tracking application behavior.
• Code Commenting: Well-commented code for better understanding and maintainability.
• Professional Project Structure: Adheres to professional standards for project creation and management.

• Register: Access the registration form to create a new user. Passwords are securely hashed using password_hash.
• Update: Use the same form to update user information.

• Create: Add new records to the database.
• Read: Retrieve and display records from the database.
• Update: Modify existing records in the database.
• Delete: Remove records from the database.

• Controllers: Handle incoming requests and interact with services.
  • HomeController: Manages the Login, Register, and Logout operations.
  • CrudController: Manages CRUD operations and interactions with services.
• Libraries: Contain business logic and act as intermediaries between controllers and repositories.
  • CrudService: Handles the business logic for CRUD operations.
• Models: Represent database entities and handle data operations.
  • CrudRepository: Mediator of CrudService and DatabaseModel, managing data persistence and retrieval.
  • DatabaseModel: Contains all database-related operations.
  • View Handler: Manages the presentation layer of the application.
• Helpers: Provide utility functions for validation and other common tasks.
  • Validation Helper: Manages form validation related functions.

• Apache Server (or any compatible web server)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/SLoharkar/PHP-CodeIgniter-CRUD-Application.git cd PHP-CodeIgniter-CRUD-Application

2. Configure the database:

   • Create a database in MySQL.
   • Update the database configuration in application/config/database.php with your database credentials.

3. Run the migrations:

   • Import the database.sql file located in the root of the project to your MySQL database. This will create the necessary tables.

4. Configure the base URL:

   • Update the base URL in application/config/config.php to match your local or production environment.

5. Start the application:

   • Place the project in the web root directory of your server (e.g., htdocs for XAMPP).
   • Start the Apache server.
   • Access the application via your browser at http://localhost/PHP-CodeIgniter-CRUD-Application.
