Update 1:
Before we start working I decided to do some research on sqlite to get acquainted with using it. I read through this page https://www.sqlite.org/cli.html and a couple of the other main pages on the website and tried playing around with it a bit. I haven't worked with anyone else on the project yet really but I think that I'm going to keep practicing php until we all start working on it together soon.
Update 2:
After learning some more php over break I tried testing some php using XAMPP to see how we could potentially set up the login system/interface. I attached the files in this folder and also uploaded them to github.
Update 3:
Learned how to put together a working comment box using php. The project is slowly coming together.
