- Web server (Apache, Nginx, etc.)
### Database Setup
1. Create a new MySQL database.
2. Import the following SQL schema to create the necessary tables:
```sql
-- Create users table
CREATE TABLE users (
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
username VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
email VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
password VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
-- Create posts table
CREATE TABLE posts (
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
user_id INT NOT NULL,
title VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
content TEXT NOT NULL,
image BLOB,
keywords VARCHAR(255),
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
-- Create categories table
CREATE TABLE categories (
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL UNIQUE
);
-- Create post_categories table
CREATE TABLE post_categories (
post_id INT NOT NULL,
category_id INT NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY (post_id) REFERENCES posts(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
FOREIGN KEY (category_id) REFERENCES categories(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
-- Create comments table
CREATE TABLE comments (
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
post_id INT NOT NULL,
user_id INT NOT NULL,
content TEXT NOT NULL,
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
FOREIGN KEY (post_id) REFERENCES posts(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
```
### Configuration
1. Clone the repository to your web server's root directory:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/Danialsamadi/web-assignment
```
2. Update the database connection details in `abstractDAO.php`
### Running the Application
1. Start your web server and navigate to the application in your browser
## Security Considerations
- Ensure proper validation and sanitization of user inputs to prevent SQL injection and XSS attacks.
- Use prepared statements for database queries.
- Store passwords securely using hashing algorithms like bcrypt.
