Visitor-Management is a backend implementation in PHP for a Visitor Management System that can be used (On Desktop or to make an app) to record and track Visitors on a premises. VMS is being built ground-up with corporate-level security in mind, and with the latest and the fastest version of PHP. It implements token-based authentication and JSON to make it easy for apps to communicate with the back-end.

Running on Local Server

Make sure you have xampp 7.1.4+ installed.

Instructions for xampp (Apache):

Clone the repository in your htdocs folder -

git clone https://github.com/nikramakrishnan/visitor-management.git

OR
if you have already cloned the repository, run -

git pull

Switch to the development branch (Warning: This is unstable!) -

git checkout development

Now, start Apache and MySQL, and create a database named vms, if not already exists.

Now import the vms(x.y).sql file in the database to create the required table(s).

The VMS is now ready to work!

Credentials

The default credentials used to login at index.php are -

Username	admin
Password	password

Session is maintained as a PHP session (uses cookies), and most requests will return data in JSON format (so that the app can understand it easily!)

Contributing

Please note that all code must be readable and comments should be used wherever required.
Database and table names must be generic easy to understand.
