### How to Create the Form and Script

#### 1. Open Your Chosen Text Editor or IDE

#### 2. Create the HTML Form

- Create a new file, name it `index.html`, and add the following HTML code:

```html

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Sign Up</title>

</head>

<body>
<form action="submit.php" method="post">

<label for="username">Username:</label>

<input type="text" id="username" name="username" required><br><br>

<label for="password">Password:</label>

<input type="password" id="password" name="password" required><br><br>

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

</body>

</html>

```

- Save the file in your project directory.

#### 3. Create the PHP Script

- Create another new file, name it `submit.php`, and add the following PHP code:

```php

<?php

// Database connection settings

$servername = "localhost";

$dbusername = "root"; // Database username

$dbpassword = ""; // Database password

$dbname = "my_database"; // Database name

// Create connection

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $dbusername, $dbpassword, $dbname);


// Check connection

if ($conn->connect_error) {

die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);

// Get the form data

$user = $_POST['username'];

$pass = $_POST['password'];

// Hash the password

$hashed_pass = password_hash($pass, PASSWORD_BCRYPT);

// Insert data into the database using prepared statements to prevent SQL injection

$stmt = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES (?, ?)");

$stmt->bind_param("ss", $user, $hashed_pass);

if ($stmt->execute() === TRUE) {

// Redirect to another URL after successful submission

header("Location: http://www.example.com");

exit();

} else {

echo "Error: " . $stmt->error;

$stmt->close();

$conn->close();

?>

```
- Save this file in the same directory as your `index.html` file.

### Setting Up a Local Development Environment

To run your PHP scripts, you'll need a local server environment. Here are some options:

1. **XAMPP** (Windows, macOS, Linux):

- Includes Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Perl.

- [Download XAMPP](https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html)

2. **WAMP** (Windows):

- Includes Apache, MySQL, and PHP.

- [Download WAMP](http://www.wampserver.com/en/)

3. **MAMP** (macOS, Windows):

- Includes Apache, MySQL, and PHP.

- [Download MAMP](https://www.mamp.info/en/)

#### How to Use XAMPP

1. **Install XAMPP**: Download and install XAMPP from the link above.

2. **Start Apache and MySQL**: Open the XAMPP control panel and start the Apache and MySQL
services.

3. **Place Your Files**: Copy your `index.html` and `submit.php` files to the `htdocs` directory inside the
XAMPP installation folder (usually `C:\xampp\htdocs`).

4. **Access Your Form**: Open a web browser and go to `http://localhost/index.html`.

By following these steps, you can create, test, and run your PHP web application locally.
