BPlatform is a web application developed to provide a complete environment for companies or individual people to write, read and publish their posts

This project includes a local setup guide designed for XAMPP (Windows), LAMP (Linux/Mac), or Laragon. Follow these instructions to get the application running on your local machine.

Prerequisites

  • PHP and MySQL setup (via XAMPP, LAMP, or Laragon)
  • Git

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository

Download the project files to your server by running:

git clone [repository-url]
cd project-folder

2. Create and Configure the Database

Open your PHPMyAdmin or database management tool.

Create a new database.

Open config.php in the project folder and update it with your credentials:

<?php
session_start();

define('WEBSITE_URL', '');
define('DB_HOST', ''); 
define('DB_NAME', ''); 
define('DB_USER', '');  
define('DB_PASSWORD', ''); 

3. Run SQL Scripts

Locate the provided SQL schema file (e.g., database_schema.sql). Run this script in your database to initialize the required tables and structure.

4. Launch the Application

Start your web server (XAMPP, LAMP, or Laragon). Open a web browser and go to http://localhost/project-folder to view the application locally.
