Requirements

• PHP 8.x
• MySQL 5.7+ (or compatible MariaDB)
• Composer (optional, not required currently)
• Node.js (optional, for frontend tooling if needed)

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/theGoodB0rg/OIT.git
   cd OIT

2. Set up the database

   • Import the schema from sql/oit.sql (or sql/id19550623_oit.sql).
   • Update credentials in config/database.php.

3. Configure your web server

   • Point your local Apache/Nginx virtual host to the project root (OIT/).
   • Ensure PHP sessions are enabled.

4. Login

   • Navigate to /login/ to create a user account, or use the admin panel via /admin/login/ with the credentials seeded in your database.

Development Tips

• The project uses Bootstrap 5 via CDN; adjust styling in css/style.css.
• JavaScript utilities live under js/ and tools/ pages include inline scripts.
• Keep sensitive configuration (e.g., DB password) out of source control—use environment variables if you extend the app.
