Facebook Clone Project

This project is a simple clone of Facebook's login interface, designed for educational purposes. It allows users to enter their information, which is processed using a combination of PHP and Python. The information is saved to a text file, and the user is redirected to the official Facebook website upon successful form submission.

Features

• HTML and CSS for the user interface
• PHP for server-side processing
• Python for saving data to a file
• Simple form validation

Here is a screenshot of the project in action:

Prerequisites

1. PHP installed on the server.
2. Python (version 3.x) installed on the server.
3. Write permissions for the info directory.
4. A web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) to serve the project files.

Installation

1. Clone or download the project.
2. Ensure that the info directory exists and has write permissions:

   mkdir -p info
   chmod -R 777 info

3. Place the project files in the server's web directory.
4. Start the web server and access the project through your browser.

Usage

1. Open index.php in your browser.
2. Fill out the form with your name, phone number, and password information.
3. Submit the form.
4. Upon successful submission:
   • Your information will be saved in info/info.txt.
   • You will be redirected to the official Facebook website.

Notes

• This project is for demonstration purposes only. Do not use it in production environments.
• Passwords are stored in plain text, which is not secure. Consider using encryption for real-world applications.

Debugging

1. If the info.txt file is not created or updated, check the following:

   • Ensure Python is installed and configured correctly.
   • Verify the info directory has write permissions.
   • Check the PHP script for errors using server logs.

2. Test the Python script manually:

   python3 save_info.py "Test Name" "1234567890" "oldpass" "newpass"
