1. Install PHP with XAMPP :

   • XAMPP is a software package that includes PHP, Apache, MySQL, and Perl, allowing you to set up a local web server environment on your computer.
   • Download the XAMPP installer from the official website (https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html) and follow the installation instructions.
   • During installation, make sure to include PHP in the components to be installed.

2. Download the Code and CSV Files :

   • Download the code files for the Bus Reservation System and the necessary CSV files.
   • You can download these files from the repository or the source where they are provided.

3. Place Files in htdocs Directory :

   • Navigate to the 'htdocs' folder within your XAMPP installation directory. This folder is typically located at 'C:\xampp\htdocs' on Windows.
   • Copy the downloaded PHP code file ('Bus_ticket_reservation_system.php') and the CSV files ('buses.csv' and 'users.csv') into this 'htdocs' folder.

4. Verify File Paths :

   • Ensure that the files are placed in the correct directory with the specified names:
     • Bus Reservation System PHP code file: 'C:\xampp\htdocs\Bus_ticket_reservation_system.php'
     • Buses CSV file: 'C:\xampp\htdocs\buses.csv'
     • Users CSV file: 'C:\xampp\htdocs\users.csv'
   • The system relies on these file paths to access the PHP code and the data stored in the CSV files.

5. Run the Code :

   • Open your command prompt or terminal.
   • Navigate to the directory where you placed the PHP code and CSV files. You can use the cd command to change directories.
   • Once in the correct directory, execute the PHP code file by running the command php Bus_ticket_reservation_system.php in the command prompt.
   • Alternatively, you can open the PHP code file ('Bus_ticket_reservation_system.php') in your preferred code editor and run it from there if your editor supports executing PHP scripts.
   • After executing the code, the system will start running on your local server.
