AXIS IT WEBSITE — INSTALLATION (cPanel shared hosting)
=======================================================

1. UPLOAD
   cPanel > File Manager > public_html > Upload "axis-it-website.zip" > Extract.
   Make sure index.php, .htaccess, assets/, includes/ and lib/ sit directly
   inside public_html (not inside a sub-folder).
   Tip: File Manager > Settings > tick "Show Hidden Files" to see .htaccess.

2. PHP VERSION
   cPanel > "Select PHP Version" / "MultiPHP Manager" > PHP 8.0 or newer.

3. SMTP (contact form)
   Edit includes/config.php and fill in:
     SMTP_HOST, SMTP_PORT, SMTP_SECURE, SMTP_USER, SMTP_PASS,
     MAIL_FROM (same mailbox as SMTP_USER), MAIL_TO (where enquiries arrive).
   Typical cPanel values: host mail.axiserpbd.com, port 465, secure 'ssl'.
   While testing you can set MAIL_DEBUG to true to see the exact mail error;
   set it back to false afterwards.

4. SSL
   .htaccess forces https://www. — enable AutoSSL in cPanel first.
   If SSL is not ready yet, delete the 4 "Force HTTPS and www" lines.

5. EDITING TEXT
   Company details, founding year, office address lines, phone, email,
   WhatsApp number and office hours are all in includes/config.php.
   Page text is in the matching .php file in the root.

   The address is shown exactly as the lines in COMPANY_ADDRESS_LINES, so
   change the lines there if you want it split differently.

6. SECURITY QUESTION (contact form)
   captcha.php draws a new sum (+, -, x, /) as a picture on every load and
   keeps the answer in the visitor's session. No outside service is used.
   Each question can be answered only once and expires after
   CAPTCHA_TTL_MINUTES. After 10 wrong answers in an hour the visitor is
   asked to call or WhatsApp instead.

7. SUB-FOLDER INSTALL (only if not at domain root)
   Set BASE_PATH in includes/config.php (e.g. '/axis') and change
   "RewriteBase /" and "ErrorDocument 404 /404.php" in .htaccess to match.
