Project Details

This project is built using PHP and MariaDB as its database to store data. Object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts have been utilized to reduce redundancy and enhance functionality.

Rules

Authentication

The project includes a clean Auth class responsible for controlling authenticated users. Currently, there are four different user types in the database: admin, teachers, students, and parents. They are denoted as follows:

• admin: 0
• student: 1
• teachers: 2
• parents: 3

You can add additional user types as needed.

Authenticating Users

To control access to certain pages based on user roles, follow these steps:

1. Visit config/Auth.php for more details.
2. Inside the page you want to restrict access to, e.g., admin.php, call Auth::authenticate([0]) at the top of the page.
3. To allow access for multiple user roles, include their roles in the authenticate method, e.g., Auth::authenticate([0,1,2,3]).
