This repository contains the server-side code for the MentorMe Android app with RESTful APIs.

Setup Instructions

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Vaneeza-7/Server-Side-Code-for-mentorme-android-app-with-restful-api.git

Install Dependencies

Ensure you have the XAMPP server with MySQL installed.

Set Up the Project

1. Move Project Folder:

   Move the mentorme folder from the cloned repository to the htdocs folder in your XAMPP installation directory. The typical path is:

   C:\xampp\htdocs
   

2. Start XAMPP:

   Open the XAMPP Control Panel and start the Apache and MySQL modules.

3. Set Up the Database:

   • Open your web browser and go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin.
   • Create a new database named mentorme.
   • The schema file is not provided here but you can easily figure it out from the php files and set up the tables. (sorry for inconvenience)

4. Configure Database Connection:

   • Open the dbconfig.php file located inside the mentorme folder.
   • Update the database connection settings (hostname, username, password, database name) to match your MySQL configuration:

     <?php
     $servername = "localhost";
     $username = "root";
     $password = "";
     $dbname = "mentorme";
     ?>
