Book Wise

Book Wise is a simple book management application that allows users to register books, rate them, and search through the collection. All book entries are stored in a MariaDB database, and users can interact with the system through intuitive forms and basic search features.

A lightweight migration system was implemented from scratch, along with custom validation for user input, ensuring data consistency without relying on external tools.

The application follows a clean MVC architecture, built entirely with pure PHP, without frameworks or Composer packages, in order to deeply understand the underlying concepts of core PHP development.
