README
A robust web-based car rental application built with PHP and MySQL. It allows customers to browse and book available vehicles, hire professional drivers, and manage active rentals, while providing admin clients with a comprehensive dashboard to oversee the vehicle fleet, driver registrations, and booking summaries.
---
### 📦 Stack
- PHP 8.x
- MySQL / MariaDB
- Bootstrap 3.x
- Vanilla CSS & W3.CSS
- jQuery & Custom JS
---
### ✨ Quick start
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/wayne2604/car-rental.git
# Navigate to the directory
cd car-rental
```
Ensure you have a local server environment (like XAMPP) running. Import the database schema `carrentalp.sql` from the `DATABASE FILE/` directory into your local MySQL/MariaDB server (via phpMyAdmin or CLI), and configure the database credentials inside `connection.php` to get started.
---
### ⚙️ Features
- **Secure Auth** — Multi-role login and registration system for customers (users) and clients (admins).
- **Fleet & Driver Management** — Add, view, and delete vehicles and drivers, with real-time status and availability tracking.
- **Seamless Booking Flow** — Dynamic car booking options including rental duration, distance charge-type, AC vs. non-AC fares, and driver hiring.
- **Automated Billing System** — Real-time cost calculations and printing of detailed receipts upon vehicle return.
---
### 🛠️ How it works
The system follows a modular PHP architecture designed for reliability and ease of use:
- **Database Connectivity**: Uses native `mysqli` functions encapsulated in `connection.php` with database error-handling to manage robust CRUD operations.
- **Decoupled Architecture**: Front-end page rendering (like booking, registration, and confirmation) is structured with standard forms pointing to processing endpoints.
- **Multi-Role Session Control**: Uses isolated customer and client sessions (`session_customer.php` and `session_client.php`) to secure user dashboards and restrict access to unauthorized sections.
