Project Description

Selçuk Sözlük is a simple social media platform built using PHP, TailwindCSS and MySQL. It allows users to create and publish posts by categories and interact with other users.

Features

• User registration and authentication

• Create regular & image posts by categories

• Comment and like on posts

• User profile management

Installation

Requirements

• PHP
• Apache server
• MySQL Database
• SQL
• phpMyAdmin

All of these requirements can be completed at once by simply installing a server stack like Wamp or Xampp etc. (Xampp is preferred)

Installation Steps

To install Selçuk Sözlük, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/BilalGumus/php-social-media.git
2. Navigate to the project directory: cd ./php-social-media
3. Start a local Apache and MySQL development server.
4. Import the database.sql file in the includes folder into phpMyAdmin. There is no need for any change in the .sql file. This will create the database required for the application to function.
5. Edit the db_connect.php file in the scripts folder to create the database connection. Change the password and username to the ones being used within current installation of phpMyAdmin. There is no need to change anything else.
6. Open your web browser and visit http://localhost/selcuk-sozluk

Getting started

The database file already contains a lot of sample data and users. Most users in the database have the same password as "123456" except for admin. Although the admin & moderator user does not have any extra features in the project, admin password is set as "654321".

Therefore, you will have to create an account and manually go to the role_id table in the database to change the role_id of that account to `1``.

1 role id means a admin user 2 role id means a moderator user 3 role id means a regular user

Usage

Once the installation is complete, you can use PHP Social Media Application as follows:

1. Register a new user account or log in with an existing account.
2. Fill in the required details and click "Gönderiyi Paylaş" button to publish your post.
3. Explore the different categories and view other users posts.
4. Leave comments and like on posts, follow other users and engage with the community.
