            MindQuest

========================================

Welcome to MindQuest! This guide will help you set up the SQL database and install the PHP project on your local machine using XAMPP.

----------------------------------------

1. INSTALL XAMPP

----------------------------------------

If you haven’t installed XAMPP, download it from:

https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html

Follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

----------------------------------------

2. CLONE THE REPOSITORY

----------------------------------------

Clone the project repository from GitHub to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/MindQuest.git

----------------------------------------

3. CREATE THE DATABASE

----------------------------------------

1. Start XAMPP: Open the XAMPP Control Panel and start the Apache and MySQL modules.

2. Open phpMyAdmin: In your browser, go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

3. Create a New Database:

   - Click on the "Databases" tab.

   - In the "Create database" field, enter the database name: forum

   - Click "Create".

----------------------------------------

4. IMPORT THE SQL FILE

----------------------------------------

1. Navigate to the Import Section:

   - In phpMyAdmin, select the `forum` database you just created.

   - Click on the "Import" tab.

2. Import the SQL File:

   - Click "Choose File" and select the SQL file located at `MindQuest\dataBase\forum.sql`.

   - Click "Go" to import the database structure and data.

----------------------------------------

5. SET UP THE PHP PROJECT

----------------------------------------

1. Move the Project Files:

   - After cloning the repository, move the project files to the `htdocs` directory of XAMPP.

   - The path should be something like: `C:\xampp\htdocs\MindQuest`.

2. Configure the Database Connection:

   - Open the project folder and locate the `C:\xampp\htdocs\MindQuest\particles\connect.php`.

   - Update the database configuration settings:

     // Example configuration

     $servername = "localhost";

     $username = "root";

     $password = ""; // default is empty for XAMPP

     $dbname = "forum";

3. Test the Project:

   - In your browser, navigate to `http://localhost/MindQuest`.

   - The project should now be running with the database connected.

----------------------------------------

6. ADDITIONAL NOTES

----------------------------------------

- Default Credentials: If your project has user authentication, provide default admin or user credentials.

- Troubleshooting: Common issues can include database connection errors or missing extensions. Make sure to enable necessary PHP extensions in the `php.ini` file if required.

----------------------------------------
