Getting Started

Prerequisites

• PHP 8+
• MySQL Server
• Apache/Nginx (or XAMPP for local dev)
• A Google Cloud OAuth 2.0 Client (for Google Sign-In)

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Vishwas7975/CourseFlow-LMS
cd CourseFlow-LMS

2. Set Up the Database

CREATE DATABASE courseflow_lms;

Then import the schema:

mysql -u your_db_username -p courseflow_lms < schema.sql

3. Configure Environment Variables

Update config/db.php with your database credentials:

$conn = new mysqli("localhost", "your_db_username", "your_db_password_here", "courseflow_lms");

Update config/secrets.php with your own SMTP and Google OAuth credentials:

define('VS_SMTP_HOST', 'your-smtp-host');
define('VS_SMTP_USER', 'your-email@yourdomain.com');
define('VS_SMTP_PASS', 'your_smtp_password_here');

define('VS_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID', 'your-google-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com');
define('VS_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET', 'your-google-client-secret');
define('VS_GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI', 'https://yourdomain.com/google_callback.php');

Never commit real credentials. Keep config/secrets.php out of version control in your own deployments (add it to .gitignore).

4. Run the Application

Point your web server's document root to the project folder or use PHP's built-in server for local testing:

php -S localhost:8000

Notes

This is a portfolio version of a production LMS — sample configuration values are used throughout, and the included schema.sql contains table structure only (no real user data).
