Prerequisites

Before installing, ensure you have:

• XAMPP (Apache, MySQL, PHP)
• PHP
• MySQL
• phpMyAdmin (for database management)

Installation & Setup

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/sumaiyashah27/E-Learning-Management-System-PHP.git
cd E-Learning-Management-System-PHP

2. Configure Database

1. Start XAMPP and ensure Apache & MySQL services are running.
2. Open phpMyAdmin (http://localhost/phpmyadmin/).
3. Create a new database named course-db:

CREATE DATABASE course-db;

4. Import the provided SQL file:
   • Click on the database course-db.
   • Go to the Import tab and upload database/course-db.sql.

3. Configure Database Connection

Modify config.php to match your XAMPP settings:

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = ""; // Default is empty in XAMPP
$dbname = "course-db";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
?>

4. Start the Server

1. Move the E-Learning-Management-System-PHP folder to htdocs inside your XAMPP installation.
2. Open XAMPP Control Panel and start Apache & MySQL.
3. Open your browser and visit:

   http://localhost/E-Learning-Management-System-PHP/
   

Troubleshooting

• Ensure XAMPP’s Apache & MySQL services are running.
• If a database connection error appears, verify config.php settings.
• If the site does not load, ensure the project folder is inside htdocs.
• Check for errors in error_log or enable debugging in php.ini by setting display_errors=On.
