Online Marketplace PHP

An online marketplace that allows users to buy and sell products. Users can register for an account, browse products, add products to their cart, and checkout using a payment gateway. Sellers can create and manage their own product listings, including setting the price, description, and uploading product images. Admins can manage user accounts, product listings, and orders.

Requirements

• User registration and login with password hashing
• User roles: buyer, seller, and admin
• Sellers can create and manage their own product listings
• Product listings include title, description, price, category, and images
• Users can browse products by category and search for products by keyword
• Users can add products to their cart and checkout using a payment gateway (e.g., PayPal)
• Orders are tracked and stored in a database
• Admins can manage user accounts, product listings, and orders
• Proper use of security measures, such as input validation, SQL injection prevention, and CSRF protection
• Efficient use of caching mechanisms, such as Redis or Memcached, to improve performance
• Use of an MVC architecture (Not Laravel or CodeIgniter)
