## Usage ### Prerequisites Before you can use this code, ensure you have the following software and dependencies installed as I would be leveragin docker containers for running Apache,PHP, MySQL database and phpMyAdmin: - Docker: [Docker Installation Guide](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) - Docker Compose: [Docker Compose Installation Guide](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) ### Steps to Run the Application 1. Clone the repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/justsaumit/WTWS.git ``` 2. Navigate to the project directory: ```bash cd WTWS/Lab04 ``` 3. Create an `.env` file in the project root directory and configure the database and environment variables as needed (based on your preferences): ```yaml MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=samplerootpassword MYSQL_DATABASE=regformdata MYSQL_USER=sampleusername MYSQL_PASSWORD=sampleusername DB_SERVER=db DB_USERNAME=sampleusername DB_PASSWORD=samplepassword DB_NAME=regformdata DB_TABLE=regtable ``` 4. Build and start the Docker containers using Docker Compose: ```bash docker-compose up -d ``` 5. Once the containers are up and running, you can access the registration form in your web browser at `http://localhost`. You can also access phpMyAdmin at `http://localhost:8080` to manage the MySQL database. 6. To create the database table, open a web browser and navigate to `http://localhost/create_table.php`. This PHP script will create the necessary table in the database. Successful table creation using php
