Using PHP, MySQL, HTML/CSS, Javascript, MVC design pattern, write a login / register application.

• Pull the repository into your htdocs folder (or anywhere your WebServer can visit).

git clone https://github.com/hongshuan/TestForATS.git

• Make sure the folder var/ and it subfolders writable.

cd TestForATS
chmod -R a+w var/

• Modify file app/Config/config.ini to change database settings.

vi app/Config/config.ini

• Create database table and add a user by running mysql script.

mysql -e "source users.sql"

This will create a database named testats and table named users. A testing account is added, username is testuser, password is 123456.

That's all. then open your browser and visit localhost/TestForATS, you will see the home page.

Click the link login or register to play around, After users logged in or registered successfully, they will be redirected to a welcome page, click logout to return home page.

The welcome page /welcome is only for logged in users, users will be redirected to login page when non-authorized users try to visit this page.

In case of users try to visit a non-existing page like /hello, a 404 error page will be present.

I didn't use any popular frameworks in my project, instead, I implemented my own mini MVC framework.

In frontend, I used jQuery and Bootstrap.

This is just a weekend project, I believe there is still much room for improvement.
