About This Project

Are you tired of hitting snooze and missing important meetings? The Advanced Alarm Manager built with PHP is your ultimate solution for ensuring you actually wake up and stay awake. Unlike standard alarm applications, our system forces mental engagement through logical questions that guarantee you're fully conscious before silencing the alarm.

Features That Make Advanced Alarm Manager Stand Out

Precision Time-Based Alerts

Set alarms for any specific time with our intuitive PHP-based interface. The Advanced Alarm Manager allows for multiple alarms with custom settings, perfect for variable schedules or team management in professional environments

Customizable Audio Experience

Choose from a library of alarm tones ranging from gentle nature sounds to attention-demanding alerts. The PHP backend manages a robust sound library that can be easily extended with new options:

• Classic alarm bells
• Progressive volume increase
• Nature sounds (rainfall, ocean waves, forest ambiance)
• Motivational voice messages
• Custom uploaded sound files

Wake-Up Verification with Logical Questions

What truly separates Advanced Alarm Manager from standard alarms is the mental engagement required to silence it. When your alarm triggers, you must correctly answer a logical question to prove you're awake:

• Mathematics problems (adjustable difficulty)
• Word puzzles
• Memory challenges
• Pattern recognition tests
• General knowledge questions

Persistent Alerting System

Our PHP-driven alarm system won't let you off the hook easily. The alarm continues to sound until you provide the correct answer to the challenge question, effectively preventing half-asleep dismissals that lead to oversleeping

Installation

Getting Started with Advanced Alarm Manager

Installation is straightforward for any server with PHP 7.4+ and MySQL:

1. Clone the repository from GitHub
2. Run the included installation script
3. Configure your database connection
4. Set up user accounts
5. Begin creating your personalized alarms

Running CodeIgniter 4 Application Locally

This guide explains how to run an existing CodeIgniter 4 application on your local environment.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have PHP (version 7.4 or higher) installed on your system.

1. Clone or Download the Project

If you don't have the project, clone it from the GitHub repository:

https://github.com/rrtutors/AdvanceAlarmaManager.git

2. Install Dependencies

Navigate to your project folder and install dependencies using Composer:

composer install

3. If you get an error

'composer' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

This error occurs because the system cannot find the composer command. This is usually caused by:

1. Composer is not installed.
2. The Composer path is not added to Environment Variables.

4. Ensure Composer is Installed

If Composer is not installed, follow these steps:

1. Download Composer from https://getcomposer.org
2. Install Composer by following the instructions in the installer
3. Find the Composer installation location.
   • It is usually located at: C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin or C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin
   • You can also search for the composer.phar file on your computer.
4. Add this location to Environment Variables:
   • Open Control Panel → System → Advanced system settings.
   • Click Environment Variables.
   • In the System Variables section, find Path and click Edit.
   • Click New, then add the path to the Composer location.
   • Click OK, then restart Command Prompt.

Once the installation is complete, try running the following command in Command Prompt:

composer -V

If Composer is detected, the installed version will be displayed. Run composer install again to ensure all dependencies are properly set up

5. Run the Local Server

Open a terminal and navigate to your project folder, then run the following command to start the local server

php spark serve

This command will run the application on http://localhost:8080 by default.

6. If you get an error

'php' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

This happens because Windows cannot find the PHP executable (php.exe) in its system PATH.

7. Add PHP to Environment Variables

1. Open System Properties:

   • Open Control Panel → System → Advanced system settings.
   • Click Environment Variables.
   • Go to the Advanced tab and click on Environment Variables.

2. Edit the PATH variable:

   • Under System Variables, scroll down and find Path.
   • Select it and click Edit.
   • Click New, then add your PHP installation path (e.g., C:\xampp\php\).
   • Click OK to save the changes.

3. Restart terminal and try again php spark serve

8. Access the Application

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8080 to view the CodeIgniter 4 application running locally
