You need to create a db.php file where you can give the details of the database and the server you are using.

The syntax is : $conn = mysqli_connect("","","","") or die(mysqli_error($conn));

First you have to install the Xampp control panel for this code to work --> Install Xampp --> After installation a xampp folder will be created in the directory you mentioned while installation. --> In the xampp/htdocs folder clone this repo. --> Then run the xampp control panel and click start for apache and mysql --> The go to localhost/phpmyadmin/ in your browser and there you can setup the database and the tables for this project. --> After setting it up try running this project in by using this url "localhost/"
