Hello All, thank you for your guidance, I have successfully completed my project I used Andre Polykanine`s advice, as I was a starter in PHP. No frameworks, used pure PHP but yes kept them under different directories based on their context. The project is looking good and I am excited Thank you once again. Hope you guys continue to help new comers like us.
