Open source inventory management system with php and mysql
A PHP/MySQL web app for tracking warehouse inventory — products, sales, categories, and user roles. It's a student-grade CRUD project from around 2015, last touched in 2021. If you need a dead-simple local inventory tracker and have a LAMP stack sitting around, it works, but that's the ceiling.
The role system (admin/special/default) is baked in from the start, which covers the most common multi-user warehouse scenario without extra setup. The included SQL dump means you can have it running in under 10 minutes — no migrations, no tooling, just import and configure. Bootstrap + jQuery keep the UI functional without requiring a build step.
The default credentials are hardcoded in the README (admin/admin, user/user) and the setup instructions tell you to chmod 777 uploads — both are security disasters waiting to happen in any non-localhost deployment. The flat-file PHP structure with no framework means SQL injection and XSS are almost certainly present throughout; there's no evidence of prepared statements or output escaping in the file listing. Dead since 2021, no composer.json, no tests, no issue tracker activity — you're inheriting it, not adopting it. There's also no concept of stock movements or audit trail, so you can't answer 'who changed this quantity and when.'
