## Overview

This is a PHP/MySQL hostel mess record manager. A warden enters through login or account registration, then manages boarder records by adding, viewing/filtering, editing, and deleting them; the dashboard presents the results in table or card form. The PHP pages use shared session/database setup and render shared navigation and footer elements. The graph follows the README’s documented website-to-PHP-to-MySQL workflow. Some dashboard query and authentication code was omitted from excerpts, so connections beyond visible calls or documented behavior are not inferred.

Main entry points: [`config.php`](https://github.com/iamfaisalirshad/mess-management/blob/main/config.php) (Session and database setup), [`header.php`](https://github.com/iamfaisalirshad/mess-management/blob/main/header.php) (Shared navigation and styles), [`dashboard.php`](https://github.com/iamfaisalirshad/mess-management/blob/main/dashboard.php) (Boarder dashboard), [`login.php`](https://github.com/iamfaisalirshad/mess-management/blob/main/login.php) (Warden login)
