Tools Used:
Visual Studio Code: The visual studio code is considered to be the source code editor. It
is designed, developed and maintained by Microsoft Corporation. This tool is available in
windows, mac and linux.
Sublime Text 3: It is a text editor. This application is used for changing small amount of
codes in files without opening the project in VS Code.
Xampp: In order to run the PHP files, a server is needed. The XAMPP provides the local
server which can process the PHP codes and database queries.
Running the Application:
Installing XAMPP: Download and install XAMPP in the c drive. After successfully
installing the zip file, a folder named XAMPP will be created in the c drive. Navigate to htdocs
folder within the xampp folder.
Zip File: The zip file contains all the practical files. In order to access the files needed to
be unzipped. Copy the zip file into the htdocs folder. Then right click on the file and select unzip
here. In the unzipped file, a sql file named sportgenics will be available.
Importing Database: Open the xampp control panel. Click on start apache and mysql.
After ports are assigned, click on admin of mysql. In the phpmyadmin page a option called
import will be available. Click on that. Choose that sportgenics.sql file from the unzipped folder
and press go.

Ruining the application: Copy and paste the link ‘http://localhost/sportgenics/index.php’
in the browser. The application will run. Use the PHPmyadmin page to insert admin record and
