Entrepreneurship Club Website

A full-stack PHP/MySQL website built for a real student-run organization: the Concordia College Entrepreneurship Club at the Offutt School of Business. The site is the club's public face plus a back-of-house admin panel for managing members, events, and an interactive weekly schedule.

What it does

Public-facing pages

• Home with the two next upcoming events pulled live from the database
• About page introducing the club's mission, members, and partners
• Contact form with server-side validation and email forwarding
• Members directory with sortable display
• Interactive weekly schedule (PHP-driven, with a separate static prototype in schedule01.html)

Admin panel (behind login)

• Add / edit / delete events
• Add / edit / delete / reorder members
• Admin sign-up with hashed-password authentication and session timeout
• Bulk event insertion via insertEvents.php

Stack

PHP, MySQL (via mysqli and PDO), vanilla HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Bootstrap Icons, AOS for scroll animations. No framework dependency.

Setup

To run locally with XAMPP, MAMP, or any LAMP stack:

1. Clone this repo into your local web root (e.g., htdocs/).
2. Create a MySQL database and import your schema. The project expects an events table with columns event_title, event_date, event_time, event_type, event_desc, event_detailed_desc, event_img, plus a members table.
3. Copy .env.example to .env and fill in the DB credentials, or export the same variables in the shell before starting Apache:

   export DB_HOST=localhost
   export DB_USER=root
   export DB_PASSWORD=your-password
   export DB_NAME=ClubDatabase

4. Start Apache + MySQL.
5. Open http://localhost/entrepreneurship-club-website/ in a browser.
