Project Explanation

The connection string has been implemented in class call DBA.php

public function __construct() {
$con = mysql_connect($this->host, $this->user, $this->pass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($this->dbname) or die(mysql_error());
}
Once the object is created in any other php file, the connection will be initiated. So the programmer
doesnt have to initiate the connection each time we create a new file.
Login structure
Once the user login, the system will check the username and password from the users table which we
have created. Once the user is matched the session will be generated for the user so that they can
access the user area.
The table structure

Register
In this module is just like as it says Registration of a user, the table structure is same as the above. Once
the user press register button the submitted data will be added to the table, and can be used for
checking whether the user name and password is valid or not.

Dash Board
Is a place where user can see after login page, it contains group creation, status update and browsing
the file of a groups or a folder created.

The right hand side menu bar for user. The user can choose 2 others module such as chat and private
messaging

File Upload (code)

<?php
$valid_file = true;
///This area will check whether the file is selected or not by using empty() function where the parameter
is $_FILES[file][name];
if (empty($_FILES['file']['name'])) {
echo 'Please select a file before uploading!';
echo '<a href="index.php">Go back</a>';
die();//Die function will stop all the other function which is gonna happen,In simple words it
will just stops here
}

if ($_FILES['file']['name']) {
//if no errors in file name or file is valid...
if (!$_FILES['file']['error']) {

$new_file_name = strtolower($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']);
//rename file to lower string
if ($_FILES['file']['size'] > 10485760) {
//The above line will check whether the file is greater than 10 mb or not if its too large then it will show
error
$valid_file = false;
echo 'Oops! Your file\'s size is to large.';
echo '<a href="index.php">Go back</a>';
}

//if the file has passed the test

if ($valid_file) {
//move it to where we want it to be
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], '../APP-BOX/' . $gname . '/' .
basename($_FILES['file']['name']));
echo 'Congratulations! Your file was uploaded sucessfully.';
echo '<a href="index.php">Go back</a>';
}
}
//if there is an error...
else {
//set that to be the returned message
echo 'Ooops! Your upload triggered the following error: ' . $_FILES['file']['error'];
}
}
?>
Why we have to move file after upload?

Php will usually take upload file to the temporary folder then erase it once the session is over thats why
we need to use move_upload_file() function to specify where to store. So it wont get deleted once the
session is over
SESSION
How session is generated in php?
public function log_in($username, $password) {
$sql = "select * from users where username='".$username."' AND password='".$password."'";
$query = parent::query($sql);
$num = mysql_num_rows($query);
if($num == 1)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);
$_SESSION['uid'] = $row['uid'];
$_SESSION['uname'] = $row['username'];
$_SESSION['name'] = $row['name'];

$_SESSION['email'] = $row['email'];
return 1;
}
}
As we can see in the code above once the sql query is executed, Then it will check whether the
username and password Is valid or not.
If its valid then we will use $_SESSION[] function to generate the session we can specify session value by
using data from database also
EX
$_SESSION['uid'] = $row['uid'];
In this case we fetch data user id which is UID make it equal to $_SESSION[uid]
So that we can use further in any other web pages
