SECURITY and PERFORMENCE :
-> Used tokens for Remember Me functionality instead of storing passwords in the user browser cookies for better security.(for detailed info click here Go to Remember Me Functionality Info)
-> Used hashed values to identify each course uniqly and to escape from user manupulations in the URL to access other courses (accessing other courses just by changing / manupulating course details in URL).
-> Passwords are hased before stronging in the database and for hasing i have used PHP's default but strong encryption algorithm and it will also verify passwords when a user login.
-> For better security i have used PHP PDO for sql query.
-> For better code utilization i have created functions for each query and called it when ever required so code repitation is decreased a lot.
Remember Me Functionality Info :
==> Here for Remember Me functionality while login we have used tokens which will be stroed in the database and also in the user browser cookies, whenever a user login and checks the remember me box a token will be generated for the first time and stored in the database also in the browser cookie and next time when a user trys to login from the same browser and if there is a token avaliable in the browser cookie then it will be compaired with token in the database if it matches user will be logged in and a new token is generated and this new token will be replaced with old token in the database and browser cookie in case if the token didn't match then user will not be allowed to login unless they enter the password.
