PHP software for holding online coding competitions
Caution
DO NOT USE THIS PROJECT. It is unmaintained and has known security vulnerabilities. It was originally created in 2015 and contains legacy code that in no way reflects my current coding standards and best practices (fortunately, since then I've progressed in terms of designing and building software having security in mind!).
Unmaintained. Please DO NOT run this in production or anywhere.
