🛠 Scalability & Performance Features

• Global Search: Every core module (Events, Participants, Attendance, Payments) includes a high-speed search engine.
• Smart Pagination: Optimized to handle thousands of records by loading only 10 items per page, reducing server load.
• Data Integrity: Uses PDO Prepared Statements to prevent SQL Injection and htmlspecialchars for XSS protection.
• Device Responsive: A custom-built wrapper system with a togglable sidebar ensures full usability on smartphones, tablets, and desktops.

📋 Core Modules

1. Events Module: CRUD operations for events with dynamic date ranges and status tracking.
2. Participant Registry: Captures comprehensive bio-data including National ID, Church/Org, and accommodation preferences.
3. Dynamic Attendance: A grid-based system that automatically expands based on the number of days defined for an event.
