Forever Events

Four-person event-management platform — PHP MVC with auth, profile management and event flows.

[ flow ]

profile.php user dashboard

userController.php validate · session · password_verify

User.php entity · fields & rules

Database.php PDO → MySQL

MVC split — the controller is the only path that touches the database.

scope: DAW group project, 4 contributors. Clean MVC split so each layer can be touched in isolation.
auth: Session-based login with password_verify on bcrypt hashes; email uniqueness checked before insert.
ui: Rebuilt the nav and the event-detail page; brought in jQuery + cookie handling for the shared template.
ops: MySQL as the source of truth; one controller per resource, every DB call routed through Database.php (PDO).

Helped me read a codebase I didn't write, draft CSS variants, and catch UI inconsistencies before opening PRs.

Owned the front-end polish — nav redesign, event-detail layout, cookies/jQuery integration — and reviewed teammates' PRs.
