Implementation Guide

Follow these steps to develop the Advanced Mobile Store:

1. Define Requirements and Choose Technology Stack

   Determine the core features and select technologies for development:

   • Frontend: Use frameworks like Bootstrap or Vue.js for a responsive and user-friendly interface.
   • Backend: Implement server-side logic with PHP using a framework like Laravel.
   • Database: Store user data, product information, and orders using MySQL or PostgreSQL.

2. Develop User Registration and Authentication

   Create user registration, login, and profile management functionalities:

   
                           // Example PHP code for user registration
                           if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
                               $username = $_POST['username'];
                               $password = password_hash($_POST['password'], PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
                               // Save user to database
                               $stmt = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES (?, ?)");
                               $stmt->execute([$username, $password]);
                           }
                       

3. Create Product Catalog

   Design a catalog to display mobile phones with relevant details:

   
                           
                           <div class="product">
                               <img src="mobile-image.jpg" alt="Mobile Name">
                               <h3>Mobile Name</h3>
                               <p>Description of the mobile phone.</p>
                               <p>Price: $XX.XX</p>
                               <button>Add to Cart</button>
                           </div>
                       

4. Implement Inventory Management

   Manage stock levels and update product details:

   
                           // Example PHP code for updating product inventory
                           if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
                               $productId = $_POST['product_id'];
                               $stockLevel = $_POST['stock_level'];
                               // Update inventory in the database
                               $stmt = $pdo->prepare("UPDATE products SET stock = ? WHERE id = ?");
                               $stmt->execute([$stockLevel, $productId]);
                           }
                       

5. Develop Shopping Cart and Checkout

   Implement features for adding products to the cart and completing purchases:

   
                           // Example PHP code for adding a product to the cart
                           if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
                               $productId = $_POST['product_id'];
                               // Add product to cart session
                               $_SESSION['cart'][] = $productId;
                           }
                       

6. Create Order History

   Allow users to view their order history and track orders:

   
                           // Example PHP code for displaying order history
                           $stmt = $pdo->query("SELECT * FROM orders WHERE user_id = ?");
                           $orders = $stmt->fetchAll();
                           foreach ($orders as $order) {
                               echo "Order ID: {$order['id']} - Status: {$order['status']}";
                           }
                       

7. Develop Admin Panel

   Provide administrators with tools to manage products, users, and orders:

   
                           // Example PHP code for admin dashboard
                           $stmt = $pdo->query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM products");
                           $totalProducts = $stmt->fetchColumn();
                           echo "Total Products: $totalProducts";
                       

8. Testing and Deployment

   Test the application thoroughly and deploy it to a secure server. Ensure all functionalities work correctly and the system is secure.
