Quick Start

Get Hotel Guevarini running and log in to the system in under ten minutes.

This guide gets you to a working login screen as fast as possible. For a full walkthrough of every configuration option, see the Installation page.

Prerequisites

• PHP 7.4 or higher
• MySQL or MariaDB
• A local web server — XAMPP, WAMP, or Laragon all work

Steps

1. Clone the repository

   Download or clone the project and place the folder inside your web server’s public directory.

   git clone https://github.com/EmirPolito/CRUD-HOTEL-GUEVARINI-Publico.git
   

   Move the resulting folder (CRUD-HOTEL-GUEVARINI-Publico) into your server root — for example C:\xampp\htdocs\ on XAMPP.

2. Install dependencies

   Open a terminal in the project root and run:

   composer install
   

   This creates the vendor/ directory containing PHPMailer and any other required libraries.

3. Import the database

   Start your MySQL server, then import base_de_datos.sql from the project root using phpMyAdmin, DBeaver, MySQL Workbench, or the CLI:

   mysql -u root -p < base_de_datos.sql
   

   This creates the hotel_guevarini_publico database, all tables, and seed data including the test accounts below.

4. Configure database credentials

   Open php/conexion.php and update the four private properties to match your local MySQL setup:

   private $host     = "localhost";
   private $db_name  = "hotel_guevarini_publico";
   private $username = "root";
   private $password = "";
   
5. Configure SMTP

   The system sends verification and password recovery emails via SMTP. Open each of the following files and fill in your SMTP credentials:

   • php/auth/procesar_registro.php
   • php/auth/enviar_recuperacion.php
   • php/auth/reenviar_verificacion.php
   • php/usuarios/guardar_usuario.php

   $mail->Host     = 'sandbox.smtp.mailtrap.io';
   $mail->Username = 'YOUR_SMTP_USERNAME';
   $mail->Password = 'YOUR_SMTP_PASSWORD';
   $mail->Port     = 587;
   
6. Open the login page

   Start your web server and navigate to the login page in your browser:

   http://localhost/CRUD-HOTEL-GUEVARINI-Publico/views/login.php
   

   Use one of the pre-configured test accounts below to log in.

Test accounts

After importing the database, two seed accounts are available immediately:

Role	Email	Password
Administrator	[e-mail]	12345
Client	[e-mail]	12345

Change these passwords before deploying to any environment accessible outside your local machine.
