🔒 Security Features

Double-Layer Protection:

// CSRF Example
if (!isset($_SESSION['csrf']) || $_POST['csrf'] !== $_SESSION['csrf']) {
    die("Security violation detected");
}

SQL Injection Prevention:

$stmt = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO students VALUES(?,?,?,?)");
$stmt->bind_param("ssss", $name, $email, $roll, $dept);

---

💡 Pro Tips

• Enable Debug Mode (in db.php):

$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

• Create Database Backup:

mysqldump -u root -p internship_db > backup.sql

• Use Virtual Host for cleaner URLs:

127.0.0.1 studentapp.local
