shojiyao12/up-admissions-simulator

This is a beginner-level web-application simulator, where soon-to-be college students can freely admit themselves into university, with the inclusion of the option to choose what course they want to be in. (The school in the simulator will be the University of the Philippines.) Front-End: HTML/CSS, Back-End: PHP & Javascript, Database: MySQL

Quickstart Guide

1. Copy all the contents from this repository
2. Copy all files and directories to the htdocs directory inside xampp (for example: C:\xampp\htdocs\Enrollment-System), where "Enrollment-System" will contain all of the files.
3. Import the database [portal_college.sql] in phpmyadmin or directly embed it into your MySQL database through the command prompt (refer to this link on how - https://www.warp.dev/terminus/mysql-import-sql-file).
4. Open your XAMPP Panel and make sure to start your APACHE and MySQL 'Modules' under 'Actions' (refer to this link, if you do not have XAMPP, yet - https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html)
5. Open any browser, enter localhost, and browse the file location on the search bar. (i.e. localhost/Enrollment-System)

Note: When logging in as an ADMIN, the login information was set as follows,

• username: admin
• password: admin123

But, this can be modified within the login_check.php file

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

• Spiral Model consisting of the following:
  • Planning - so that at least, I have a basis on where to start and what will be the specifications I will include in my software project.
  • Design - so that it looks visually appealing and not just plain for users.
  • Coding - for the reason that this project would require it.
  • Testing - since in any project, this phase is crucial to ensure that the user does not experience any sudden errors while using it.
