• User authentication (register, login, logout).
• Add, edit, delete, and mark tasks as complete.
• Responsive and user-friendly design.
• Secure session handling.
• Gradient-based modern UI.

• Web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx).
• PHP 7.4 or higher.
• MySQL database.
• Composer (optional, for dependency management).

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/AlbinMath/task_management.git
   cd task_management
   

2. Set Up the Database

Create the database by running the SQL commands in database.sql:

CREATE DATABASE task_management;

USE task_management;

-- Table for storing user information CREATE TABLE users ( id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, username VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL, password VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP );

-- Table for storing tasks CREATE TABLE tasks ( id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, user_id INT NOT NULL, task VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, status ENUM('pending', 'done') DEFAULT 'pending', created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE );

3. Update the Database Connection

Edit db.php and update the database credentials:

setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); } catch (PDOException $e) { echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage(); } ?>

4. Deploy the Project

Place the project files in your web server's root directory (e.g., htdocs for XAMPP). Access the application in your browser: http://localhost/task_management. Project Structure
