## Overview

This PHP/MySQL asset-management application lets users sign up or sign in, then manage their organization’s inventory from a dashboard. The dashboard presents asset status and analytics, supports add/edit/delete operations, filtered reports, profile settings, and PDF downloads. Authentication, asset changes, and account updates use PHP handlers backed by MySQL. The README also describes role-based access and tracking hardware, software, and infrastructure. Some handlers and page wiring were not sampled; those relationships are omitted unless the tree, excerpts, or README supports them.

Main entry points: [`dashboard.php`](https://github.com/himani018/asset-management-system/blob/main/dashboard.php) (Asset dashboard), [`includes/dbh.inc.php`](https://github.com/himani018/asset-management-system/blob/main/includes/dbh.inc.php) (MySQL database), [`login.php`](https://github.com/himani018/asset-management-system/blob/main/login.php) (Login and signup), [`includes/loginhandler.inc.php`](https://github.com/himani018/asset-management-system/blob/main/includes/loginhandler.inc.php) (Sign-in handler)
