Simple PHP + MySQL login system for a Coffee Shop Point of Sale (POS).

Features:

• User registration
• Login with password hashing
• Session handling
• Role-based dashboard (admin, barista, cashier)

Requirements

• XAMPP (Apache + MySQL)
• PHP 7.4+ (mysqli extension)

Setup

1. Place the POS folder in your XAMPP htdocs (already assumed: C:/xampp/htdocs/POS).
2. Start Apache and MySQL from the XAMPP Control Panel.
3. Create the database and tables: import db/schema.sql into phpMyAdmin or run the SQL file.
   • You can import via phpMyAdmin or run mysql -u root -p < db/schema.sql.
4. Edit config.php if your MySQL username/password differ from defaults.
5. Seed an admin user (optional but recommended): open http://localhost/POS/seed_admin.php in your browser. This creates an admin user with password Admin@123 if it doesn't exist.
6. Open http://localhost/POS/ to access the login page.
