The functionality isn't quite complete, but this will add the base PHP files, I will work on finishing the rest of the functions as time goes on.

What would be the benefit of having signup/login? Also, why PHP?

zachw000 commented 9 years ago

Having the signup/login would benefit us first because first it will add the ability to have personalized notifications/details about the team, secondly, a forum could come in handy with discussions when not everyone on the team is able to get all of the details. Third, this will give us complete control database management, allow us to keep track of who is on the team. Using this system can also help "subscribe" people to announcements. And some more benefits which I simply do not have the time at the moment to list. As for PHP, I am using PHP for a few reasons, it is the most widely supported server scripting language out there, so a lot of support is available. Two the host I'm using only supports PHP (Pretty much any free host is going PHP-only due to the ease of implementation). Third dynamic loading and/or AJAX/AngularJS is much easier to handle with PHP and makes putting a usable site online much quicker than just AngularJS or other languages. These are some of the benefits and reasons why I am making the signup/login using PHP.
