🤖 AI Chatbot Integration

Drivons embeds a TIDIO AI chatbot on every page, providing round-the-clock user assistance.

Chatbot Capabilities:

💬 Guides users through the booking process step by step
❓ Instantly answers FAQs
📋 Explains subscription plans and pricing
🛠️ Provides support without manual intervention

Integrated via JavaScript embed with the TIDIO API key placed before </body> on each page.

💳 Payment Integration

Drivons uses Razorpay for both car rental payments and subscription billing.

Payment Flow

User → "Proceed to Pay" button
  │
  ▼
Backend: create_order.php
  → Razorpay Orders API called
  → order_id returned to frontend
  │
  ▼
Frontend: Razorpay Checkout popup
  → User pays via UPI / Card / Netbanking
  │
  ▼
Backend: verify_payment.php
  → HMAC SHA256 signature verified
  → tblpayments record created
  │
  ▼
payment_success.php
  → Invoice generated, booking confirmed

⚠️ Currently set to Razorpay Test Mode. Replace keys in create_order.php and verify_payment.php to go live.

🚀 Installation & Setup

✅ Prerequisites

XAMPP — PHP 8.2+, Apache, MySQL
Composer — PHP dependency manager
Git

Step 1 — Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/sakshinikam05/Drivons.git

Move to your XAMPP htdocs directory:

macOS:   /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/Drivons
Windows: C:\xampp\htdocs\Drivons

Step 2 — Set Up the Database

Start XAMPP → start Apache and MySQL
Open phpMyAdmin: http://localhost/phpmyadmin
Create a new database:
```
drivons
```
Select drivons → click Import → upload:
```
Backend/sql/drivons.sql
```
Click Go — all 8 tables with 55 cars will be imported ✅

Step 3 — Install PHP Dependencies

cd Backend
composer install

Installs PHPMailer and the Razorpay PHP SDK.

Step 4 — Configure the App

Open Backend/dbcon.php and verify:

$con = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '', 'drivons');

Update if your MySQL uses a password.

Step 5 — Launch

http://localhost/Drivons/Frontend/index.php    ← Main site
http://localhost/Drivons/Backend/wd.php        ← Admin panel

🔧 Configuration

📧 Email / OTP (PHPMailer)

Edit Backend/send_email.php:

$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host       = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;
$mail->Username   = 'your@email.com';     // Your Gmail address
$mail->Password   = 'your_app_password';  // Gmail App Password
$mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_STARTTLS;
$mail->Port       = 587;

💡 Generate a Gmail App Password: Google Account → Security → 2-Step Verification → App passwords

💳 Razorpay Keys

In Backend/create_order.php and Backend/verify_payment.php:

$keyId     = "rzp_test_XXXXXXXXXXXX";     // Your Razorpay Key ID
$keySecret = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";  // Your Razorpay Key Secret

Get keys from dashboard.razorpay.com.

📁 File Upload Limits

Backend/php.ini:

upload_max_filesize = 10M
post_max_size       = 10M

🔐 Security Considerations

Concern	Implementation
🔑 Password storage	`password_hash()` + `password_verify()`
🔒 Session security	`session_start()` guarded on all protected routes
💉 SQL Injection	MySQLi parameterized queries throughout
📧 OTP verification	Server-side OTP stored in DB, single-use
📁 File upload safety	Type/size validation; uploads stored outside web root
💳 Payment security	Razorpay HMAC SHA256 signature verification
🎭 Role separation	Admin in `Backend/`, users in `Frontend/`
🧹 Input sanitization	`htmlspecialchars()` + server-side validation
