## Overview

StudySpot is a campus study-location review forum, though the README describes that product goal rather than a complete implemented workflow. The shown runtime supports account registration and login, with browser-side form checks; login success redirects to the dashboard. Review-form validation is present, but review submission, study-spot data, and persistence are not shown. The database is evidenced only for user accounts. HTML wiring and the dashboard’s contents were not sampled, so uncertain page-to-handler links are dashed and uncited.

Main entry points: [`login.php`](https://github.com/nilsotovel/studyspot-mssu/blob/main/login.php) (Login handler), [`login.html`](https://github.com/nilsotovel/studyspot-mssu/blob/main/login.html) (Login page), [`register.html`](https://github.com/nilsotovel/studyspot-mssu/blob/main/register.html) (Registration page), [`js/script.js`](https://github.com/nilsotovel/studyspot-mssu/blob/main/js/script.js) (Form validation)
