STEP 1 — Tengeneza Database
CREATE DATABASE php_admin_panel;

USE php_admin_panel;
STEP 2 — Tengeneza Users Table
CREATE TABLE users (
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
full_name VARCHAR(150) NOT NULL,
username VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
email VARCHAR(150),
password VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
role VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT 'Admin',
status ENUM('active','inactive') DEFAULT 'active',
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
STEP 3 — Tengeneza Admin Account
INSERT INTO users
(full_name, username, email, password, role, status)
VALUES
(
'System Administrator',
'admin',
'admin@example.com',
'$2y$10$examplehashedpasswordhere',
'Super Admin',
'active'
);

Password unatakiwa kuiweka kwa kutumia password_hash() ndani ya PHP.

<?php
session_start();

$host = "localhost";
$dbname = "php_admin_panel";
$user = "root";
$pass = "";

try {
$pdo = new PDO(
"mysql:host=$host;dbname=$dbname;charset=utf8mb4",
$user,
$pass,
[
PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE => PDO::FETCH_ASSOC
]
);
} catch(PDOException $e) {
die("Database Connection Failed");
}

function clean($data) {
return htmlspecialchars(trim($data), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
}

function isLoggedIn() {
return isset($_SESSION['user_id']);
}

function requireLogin() {
if (!isLoggedIn()) {
header("Location: index.php");
exit;
}
}
?>
STEP 5 — Login Page

index.php

<?php
require_once 'config.php';

$stmt = $pdo->prepare("
SELECT * FROM users
WHERE username = ?
AND status = 'active'
LIMIT 1
");
$stmt->execute([$username]);
$user = $stmt->fetch();

if ($user && password_verify($password, $user['password'])) {
session_regenerate_id(true);

$_SESSION['user_id'] = $user['id'];
$_SESSION['full_name'] = $user['full_name'];
$_SESSION['username'] = $user['username'];
$_SESSION['role'] = $user['role'];

header("Location: dashboard.php");
exit;
} else {
$error = "Username au password si sahihi.";
