• PHP MySQL connection component (with mysqli functions)
• MySQL database server on the same server as Apache with PHP

Steps:

1. Put all files from this repo apart from config-quizlemon.ini and database.sql files into a public directory on your webserver.
2. Put config-quizlemon.ini in a non-public folder on your webserver one step in a folder tree above all public files.
3. Enter username and password for MySQL user who will be used to access the database automatically by the app into config-quizlemon.ini file (this user should have INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE priviliges for only quizengine database). Also enter the name of the database (by default: quizengine) there.
4. Create a database and a user with names specified in the *.ini file from above.
