⚙️ Technical Stack

Mobile App: Android app developed in Kotlin (Android Studio). :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Backend: PHP (likely procedural or simple MVC) with MySQL/MariaDB database.

API / Data Sync: RESTful endpoints facilitating login, data sync (vehicles, refuels, services, etc).

Server Requirements:

• Web server: Apache/Nginx
• PHP version 7.4+ (depending on script version)
• MySQL 5.7 / MariaDB 10+
• HTTPS enabled (recommended for secure data sync)

🧩 Installation Guide

1. Upload PHP backend files to your hosting server or sub-directory.
2. Create a MySQL database and user; import the provided SQL dump (if included).
3. Edit the config file (e.g., config.php or api/config.php) to enter database credentials and base URL for mobile app.
4. Deploy the Kotlin Android app: open project in Android Studio, update API base URL in code, build APK and install on device/emulator.
5. Register a user via app (or admin panel) and test data sync by adding a vehicle, refuel entry, and check in backend database.
6. Customize branding, icons and colours in app resources; make sure backend endpoints are secured before going live.

Tip: Use a secure HTTPS endpoint for the API, restrict database access, and ensure you configure proper permissions on your server’s storage and cache directories.
