Create your local environment file: ```bash cp includes/env.example.php includes/env.php ``` Edit `includes/env.php` with your local DB credentials and `APP_URL`. 3. Import the schema: ```bash mysql -u root greencash < database/greencash.sql ``` (Create the DB first: `CREATE DATABASE greencash CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;`) 4. Visit `localhost` in a browser. --- ## Project layout ``` greencash/ ├── index.php Landing page (hero, calculator-replacement, products, employers, apply, FAQ) ├── apply.php Multi-step loan application POST handler ├── login.php, verify-otp.php Admin/broker authentication ├── track-application.php Self-service application status lookup ├── contact.php Public contact form + complaints procedure ├── partnership-enquiry.php Employers band modal POST handler ├── application-submitted.php Post-submission confirmation ├── privacy-policy.php ├── terms-and-conditions.php ├── 404.php, 500.php ├── admin/ Admin panel (Bootstrap 5) ├── assets/ css/, js/, img/ (logos, favicons, OG card) ├── includes/ Shared header/footer …
